Means on the same row as a potential confounding variable have been adjusted statistically for that variable. For the very lean meat [VLM] exchange categories, low VLM intake included women in the 1st quartile, daily servings per 4186 kJ [1000 kcal], 0.00–0.32, moderate VLM exchange included women in the 2nd and 3rd quartiles, daily servings per 4186 kJ [1000 kcal], 0.33–1.04, and the high VLM exchange category included women in the 4th quartile, daily servings per 4186 kJ [1000 kcal], 1.05–6.73. Each of the exchange variables was calculated as servings per 4186 kJ [1000 kcal]. Model 1 includes the following covariates: age, education, body fat percentage, total PA, and servings of the following exchanges per 4186 kJ [1000 kcal], starch, sweets, fruit, nonstarchy vegetables, dairy, meat, and dietary fat. Model 2 employed the same covariates as Model 1, except that body fat percentage was not included. |
