- Shown are the energy ratios derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in lactating mothers from urban and rural areas of China in 2018
- The data have been presented as number and percentage (n (%))
- ND No AMDR value
- aBelow AMDR: number and percentage of study participants whose intake of energy ratio provided by macronutrients is below the AMDR
- bAbove AMDR: number and percentage of study participants whose intake of energy ratio provided by macronutrients is above the AMDR
- cAMDR: number and percentage of study participants whose intake of energy ratio provided by macronutrients is within the AMDR
