^a M = male, F = female, P/L = pregnant and/or lactating. NOTE: Linolenic acid includes both n-3 and n-6 forms. Estimates are based on respondents’ intakes on the first surveyed day and were adjusted using the Iowa State University method. Mean, standard errors, and percentiles were obtained using C-Side. Standard errors were estimated via jackknife replication. Each standard error has 43 degrees of freedom. Infants and children fed human milk were excluded from all analyses. One female was pregnant and lactating and was included in both the Pregnant and Lactating categories. The sample sizes for the Pregnant and Lactating categories were very small, so their estimates of usual intake distributions are not reliable.
