SD, Standard deviation 1 The sign – indicates variation below the mean daily frequency of intake for all women, while + indicates variation above the mean daily frequency of intake for all women. For example, we used + (or -) for 0.1–0.49 SD units (SDUs); ++ (or --) for 0.5–0.99 SDUs; and +++ (or ---) for 1.0–1.99 SDUs. The sign = means equal to mean frequency of intake. For example, for "High-fat spreads", the "Fruit and vegetables" group had a mean intake that was 0.1–0.49 SDUs below the mean intake for all women, i.e., 0.1 × 0.75 – 0.49 × 0.75 below 0.66 times/day, which equals between 0.29 and 0.58 times/day. |
