:
: The necessary IRB approval for NHANES had been obtained by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) [CitationRef removed]. All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations. Adult participants provided written informed consent. Parental/ guardian written informed consent was obtained for children. Children/adolescents ≥12y provided additional written consent. All NHANES data, used in the current study, are readily and publicly available on the NCHS and USDA websites [CitationRef removed]. Per Mount Sinai School of Medicine policies, public data do not involve “human subjects” and their use requires neither IRB review nor an exempt determination. Such data may be used without any involvement of the Human Subjects Division or the Mount Sinai Institutional Review Board.
