4% of children/adolescents or adults were African American or Hispanic. Table 1

presents WG intake for all children/adolescents and adults and by WG intake group. A high percentage of children/adolescents (38.8%) and adults (41.9%) consumed no WG, whereas most children/adolescents selleck chemicals llc (58.3%) and adults (50.4%) consumed a small amount (>0-<3 oz eq/d), and only a few children/adolescents (2.9%) and adults (7.7%) consumed at least 3 oz eq/d. Mean daily WG intake was 0.57 (±0.02) oz eq/d for all children/adolescents and 0.82 (±0.03) oz eq/d for all adults. Those children/adolescents and adults in the low intake group (>0-<3 oz eq/d) consumed 0.79 (±0.02) and 0.96 (±0.03) oz eq/d, respectively. The percentage of children/adolescents and adults in each total dietary fiber tertile by WG intake

groups is presented in Table 2. NU7441 chemical structure For each fiber tertile for children/adolescents and adults, WG intake was greater among those in the low and high intake groups compared with the no-WG intake group and among those in the high groups compared with the low groups. For the low WG intake groups, WG intake was significantly higher from the first to third fiber tertiles (from 0.53 to 1.01 oz eq/d for children/adolescents and from 0.66 to 1.21 oz eq/d for adults). For the high WG intake groups, WG intake did not differ for children/adolescents from the first to third tertiles; however, for adults, WG intake was lower for the first fiber tertile (3.63 oz eq/d) compared with the second tertile (3.94 oz eq/d) and third tertile (4.52 oz eq/d). For children/adolescents and adults, individuals in the high WG intake group were 59 and 76 times more likely to fall in the third fiber tertile, respectively, compared with those with no-WG intake. Total dietary fiber intake from various food groups by WG intake group is presented in Table 3. Total dietary fiber intake was significantly greater for those in the high WG group compared with the low and no-WG intake groups among both children/adolescents and adults. For children/adolescents and adults, fiber intake was greater PAK6 from yeast bread/rolls, crackers

and salty grain snacks, hot cereals, and RTE cereals for those in the low and high WG groups compared with the no-WG group. For adults, fiber intake was also greater from cakes/cookies/pies/pastries, grain mixtures/frozen plate meals/soups/meat substitutes, and fruits for those in the low and high WG groups compared with the no-WG group. Children/adolescents and adults with a WG intake of at least 3 oz eq/d had total dietary fiber intakes of 24.5 and 28.0 g/d, respectively (Table 3). For children/adolescents in the high WG intake group (≥3 oz eq), the food groups contributing the most total dietary fiber to the diet included grain mixtures/frozen plate meals/soups/meat substitutes (16.2%), RTE cereals (11.0%), and fruits (10.3%).
