Catell Scree Plot Based on the frequency of intake of 25 food groups from the NHANES III (n = 4009; weighted n = 99,249,927). Factor components are on the X axis and the corresponding eigenvalues are on the Y axis. Scree plot was used to determine the number of factors to be extracted. Only first three factors (patterns) were retained in the analysis because the plot starts flattening after the first 3 factors.
