  1. Adjusted power analysis results for log % Energy from proteins (left column), carbohydrates (middle column) and fats (right column) in relation to log total energy intake. Results at To, 8 years in top array, at T1, 10 years in middle array and at T2, 16 years in lowest array. Models adjusted for normalized intake of fiber (in g), for physical activity and sedentary time (in min), age (in years) and total energy expenditure (in kcal).
  2. n number of individuals, 95%CI 95% confidence interval, P P value, SD standard deviation, E energy in kcal.
  3. Bold P values indicate a level of significance <0.05.
