Appendix Q
Food Intake of WIC and WIC-Eligible Populations
DEFINITIONS FOR TABLE SUBGROUPS
Subgroup definitions are as follows:
- WIC = All individuals reporting participation in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) regardless of income level.
- Eligible Non-WIC = Low-income individuals who did not report participation in WIC.
- All Low-Income = All individuals at less than or equal to 185 percent of poverty. At the time of analysis, the WIC indicator was not available for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011–2012. Thus, the “All Low-Income 2011–2012” group serves as a proxy for current intakes of this population.

NOTES FOR TABLES Q-1 to Q-15: c-eq = cup-equivalents; d = day; EER = Estimated Energy Requirement; g-eq = gram-equivalents; N = sample size; NA = data not available; NHANES = National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; oz-eq = ounce-equivalents; SE = standard error; wk = week. NA = estimate could not be obtained because the Statistical Program for Age-adjusted Dietary Assessment (SPADE) requires more than two observations per group with two non-zero intakes in order to estimate a within-person variance, or, for median standard errors, a sample size of 30 is required to estimate this value from mean standard error.
Population subgroup definitions are as follows:
All individuals reporting participation in WIC regardless of income level.
Eligible Non-WIC = Low-income individuals who did not report participation in WIC.
All Low-Income = All individuals at ≤ 185 percent of poverty. At the time of analysis, the WIC indicator was not available for NHANES 2011–2012. Thus, the “All Low-Income 2011–2012” group serves as a proxy for current intakes of this population.
Note on Red and Orange Vegetables: Although all data are compared to values presented in the 2015 DGAC report, the DGA in place at the time of the 2005–2008 NHANES survey (the 2005 DGA) did not include a red and orange vegetables subgroup.
SOURCES: Intake data are from NHANES 2005–2008 and 2011–2012 (USDA/ARS, 2005–2008, 2011–2012). Reference values are the USDA food patterns from the report of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (USDA/HHS, 2015).
