  • 4-151 TE = total energy (food plus alcohol).

  • 4-152 FE = food energy (excluding energy from alcohol).

  • 4-153 g/1000 kcal = g per 1000 food kcal (excluding energy from alcohol).

  • 4-154 Polyunsaturated to saturated and transfat ratio.

  • 4-165 p<0.001 ANOVA for eight dietary clusters. Men and women separately.
