- Data were obtained from a 4-day food diary, elaborated with the software MetaDieta®. The estimated values of Energy needs (kcal), amount of n-3 (g), n-6 (g) and their ratio n-6/n-3 were reported. The obtained data of n-6, n-3 and their ratio were compared with the value of Italian LARN reference (RI)
- Data are expressed as mean values ± SD. Statistical analysis: repeated measures analysis of variance; level of significance: p < 0.05; The value of △ % was obtained by comparing values from the 4-day food diary with LARN values. Abbreviation: En, energy
