*Estimates from a EPIC-Wide PCA done on the country-specific FFQ derived intake levels of 23 nutrients (log-transformed and energy adjusted using the energy density method, using Alcohol-free Energy).
Factors loading lower than ±0.20 are not presented for simplicity. Only food items with factor loading higher than ±0.20 for all dietary patterns are presented in the table (butter, bread, sugar, milk
Factor loadings with absolute values <0.2 are not presented. Factor loadings of the dietary patterns derived from principal components analysis with orthogonal rotation.
