1. The survey excludes from its target population those living in the three territories, individuals living on Indian reserves or on Crown lands, residents of institutions, full-time members of the Canadian Armed Forces and residents of certain remote regions.
2. The category "Other reported occasions of food consumption" includes snacks, drinks, feeding (infants only - under two years), extended consumptions and other reported occasions. Example of extended consumption: sipping cups of coffee from a 8-cup pot for several hours.
3. The table also excludes non-response (missing values), that is, "don't know", "refusal" and "not stated".
4. The number of persons and the percent of persons reporting an occasion of food consumption shown in the table represents the number of people having at least one occurrence of the occasion during the first interview day. The total of the four categories will not add up to 100%.
5. Characteristics based on the first 24-hour dietary recall (first day of interview) only.
6. The percent of energy from an occasion is equal to the sum of energy in the population for this occasion over the total sum of energy in the population.
7. When comparing estimates, it is important to use confidence intervals to determine if differences between values are statistically significant. Confidence intervals describe sampling variability and give an indication of the precision of a given estimate.
8. Bootstrapping techniques were used to produce the coefficient of variation (CV) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
9. Data with a coefficient of variation (CV) from 16.6% to 33.3% are identified as follows: (E) use with caution.
10. Data with a coefficient of variation (CV) greater than 33.3% were suppressed due to extreme sampling variability and are identified as follows: (F) too unreliable to be published.
