^aMean intakes of selected food groups (servings/day) were adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, and total energy intake
^bIf the relative consumption of a food group exceeded 100%, it indicates that individuals belonging to top-tertile category of factor score were characterized by a relatively high consumption of that food group, compared with the ethnic background site-specific overall mean, and vice versa when the relative intake is below 100%. Percentages below 60% or above 140% were indicated in bold typeface
^cFruit – Others group included fruit juice (excluding citrus juice), fruit (excluding citrus fruit), avocado and similar, fried fruits, and fruit-based savory snack
^dVegetables – Others group included other vegetables, fried vegetables, vegetable juice, and pickled foods
