1Psychosocial scales were created by combining responses to individual questions (least healthy responses scored the lowest and the healthiest responses scored the highest). 2 Fat intake was estimated using 13-item Block fat screener. 3The fat-related diet habits scale score was calculated using responses to 12 items about dietary behaviors; a higher number corresponds to higher fat intake. 4Numbers may not add up to 658 and percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding and missing data. |
