Actual (reported)Change in zBMI
To assess the rate of habituation of behavioral responding to savory, sweet and salty foods as independent or interactive risk factors for zBMI trajectories, with the hypothesis that the rate of habituation of behavioral responding for food predicts zBMI trajectories over time, controlling for child gender, parental education, parental BMI, physical activity, ethnicity, the reinforcing value of food and eating in the absence of hunger.
2 years
Children completed body weight and other measures at baseline, 1-year follow up and 2-year follow up measurement periods.
Children were asked to attend appointments without consuming study foods 24 hours previously, as habituation measurements are sensitive to recent consumption. Children were provided access to snack prior to completing questionnaires or cognitive assessments. Habituation to food, questionnaires and cognitive assessments were re-measured at 1-year and 2-year follow up.
