Table 27. Estimated Regression Coefficients for Foods as Predictors of Calcium (mgs): Females

For milligrams of calcium, the model is:

E (Calcium) = b0+ b1Kid + b2Teen + b3NFG3P3 + b4NFG4P4 + ... + b21NFG21P21+ b28NFG28P28 + b29NFG29P29 + b30NFG30P30 + b34NFG34P34 + b35NFG35P35 + b36NFG36P36

The estimates of the regression parameters are:
