Unindented categories are primary USDA food groups, except “fruits (excluding juice)” and “fruit juice and nectar,” which, taken together, form the primary USDA group “fruits”; and “fruits (excluding juice) and vegetables,” which combines “fruits (excluding juice)” and the primary food group “vegetables.” Indented categories are custom food groups.

Adjusted for age, sex, race, BMI, and total daily energy intake.
