Important to note:

Niacin in this study refers to dietary niacin and excludes niacin supplements.

Great catch!

"2.3. Dietary niacin intake

Dietary intake data were collected by trained dietary interviewers using the NHANES Computer-Assisted Dietary Interview (CADI) system. Each Mobile Examination Center (MEC) dietary interview room follows a set of standardized measurement guidelines, which are agreed upon by experts during regular workshops and specifically designed for the current NHANES setting. These guidelines assist respondents in accurately reporting the quantity and portion size of consumed foods."
