Table 4 Relation of serum 25(OH)D concentrations with dietary pattern scores: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2006^a,b

^an = 4404; weighted n = 60,274,698. NHANES 2003–2004 and 2005–2006 were combined into one master database, NHANES 2003–2006. Regression analysis of dietary patterns scores and serum 25(OH)D concentrations
^bDietary pattern scores were stratified into tertiles (low, medium, and high) based on factor scores for each dietary pattern
^cMean ± standard error
^dHigh-Fat-Low-Vegetable Dietary Pattern or Prudent Dietary Pattern
^eSignificance determined by F-test in analysis of variance for unadjusted analysis and in analysis of covariance for adjusted analysis
^fAnalysis was adjusted for sex, race-ethnicity, age, season of examination, body mass index, and daily screen viewing. Poverty income ratio, supplement use, and energy intake were not found significant in this model and therefore those variables dropped
