When analyzing the dietary sources of total omega-3 intakes according to age groups (Table 13), meat and meat products were found to be the main source for children and adolescents, for which the observed contribution of this food group was significantly higher than that of the adult and the elderly populations (p ≤ 0.05). For adults, meat and meat products and fish and shellfish contributed in a similar way; and only in the elderly were fish and shellfish the main contributors to total omega-3 intakes. Notably, the contribution of fish and shellfish observed for children and adolescents was significantly lower compared to the older age groups (p ≤ 0.05). Only those foods that contributed at least 1% to total omega-3 intakes of the population have been included.
