  1. Note: Diet survey was applied to 102 women. ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis tests and Tukey-Kramer or Dunn’s post-hoc tests, and chi-square were applied. ǂBinomial regression analysis (age and BMI adjusted) were done for macronutrients. Ns: no significant. Different letters indicate statistical differences between groups reported by post-hoc tests. *P = 0.05; P = 0.07.
