  1. Values expressed as median and interquartile range or frequency (n). T, Mann-Whitney, and chi-squared tests were applied, depending on the variable, to evaluate level of significance. ETEV: estimated total energy value; FA: fatty acids; Kcal: kilocalories; TEI: total energy intake; UPF: ultra-processed foods. Bold denotes values considered significant
