The age and occupational distributions and nutrient intake of the population were almost identical to those of Japan as a whole based on data from the national census and nutrition survey.
The age and occupational distributions, and nutritional intake of the population were similar to those of Japan as a whole based on data from the national census and nutrition survey [ 30, 31].
We plotted non-linear dose-response curves using restricted cubic splines for each study, with knots fixed at percentiles 10%, 50%, and 90% through the distribution, and the median intake as the reference.
The approach presented here could be extended to quantify the impact on intakes and intake distributions of proposed changes in emissions, air quality, and urban infrastructure.
It appears plausible that associations between specific dietary patterns and disease may be better generalisable to populations with comparable dietary habits and intake distributions.
For the RRR scores we observed that certain centres introduced heterogeneity in the diabetes association and so we further explored the risk contributions and intake distributions of single food components in these centres.
The clear inverse association between alcohol drinking and glioma risk in this study, although unexpected, is based on a large number of cases across a wide distribution of intake and concurs with the results from several previous studies on this topic.
Furthermore, anticancer effects may also differ between types of fruits and vegetables, and the distribution of intake likely varies between the populations.
Therefore, we aim to determine the association between protein intake distribution and nutritional status in institutionalized elderly people.
The National Diet & Nutrition Survey also provides the distribution of intake of fruit and vegetables in the British population, in terms of the cumulative percentage of individuals (by sex and age group) consuming 0, <2, <2, …, >5 portions of fruit and vegetables daily (FSA, 2004; Table 2.3).
