  1. Comparisons were performed within each tertile between the remission and activity groups.
  2. Student’s t test performed for parametric variables: energy, fat, carbohydrate (% of energy), protein (% of energy), protein (g/d), vegetable protein, total folate, dietary folate equivalents. Mann-Whitney test performed for non-parametric variables: carbohydrate (g/d), animal protein, vitamin B12, natural folate, synthetic folate.
  3. T1 tertile 1, T2 tertile 2, T3 tertile 3, SFA saturated fatty acid, MUFA monounsaturated fatty acid, PUFA polyunsaturated fatty acid.
