  1. 1Values are medians (IQRs). Micronutrients are adjusted for total energy intake using the nutrient residual method
  2. 2 P values compare differences in median intakes between races within region (i.e., black vs. white) using the Wilcoxon two-sample test
  3. 3Global P values compare differences in median intakes across all three regions (i.e., Stroke Buckle vs. Stroke Belt vs. Other) and were calculated using the Kruskal-Wallis test
