Data are presented as frequency (N) and percent (%) of total number in each category. * Chi-square p < 0.05 significant difference between genders. N/A – not applicable. For fruits and vegetables, the >9 servings/day group was collapsed with 5 to 9 servings/day group due to small cell size. § The sample size for these variables does not add to N = 232 secondary to some of the participants not answering all the questions on the nutrition survey. ≠157 (92 Males, 65 females) participants reported the number of servings of alcohol consumed per week. | ||||
