Note(s): ^aThe reported t-statistics are the result of a t-test comparing the mean nutrition intake of rural–urban migrants with that of urban dwellers; ^bDDS is the number of food items consumed per capita per day; ^cYprotn and Yfat are the shares of energy obtained from protein and fat, respectively; ^***p < 0.01, ^**p < 0.05, ^*p < 0.1
