a BMR = Predicted basal metabolic rate (FAO WHO/UNU, 1985).
b Mean energy intakes expressed as a multiple of mean predicted BMR.
c Only 30% (for n > 500) or 20% (for n > 1000) used to calculate weighted means in Table 33.
d Median values reported.
e (M) = Median weight for height from Baldwin's standards [FAO/WHO/UNU, 1985]
f White = white children, black = black children.
g 24-h R = 24-hour recall, FFQ = food frequency questionnaire.
h Excluded from Table 33 because × BMR was < 1.30 or > 2.10.
i WDR = weighed dietary record, DH = diet history.
j Woodward et al (1981). Total sample size = 1055. Sample sizes for specific groups were not reported but are assumed to be evenly distributed by age group (n = 4) and sex.
