Summary

The study is designed to assess habituation of behavioral responding for food as risk factors for increases in Standardized Body Mass Index (zBMI) over two years in non-overweight children.

Conditions

  • Obesity in Children

Interventions

OTHER

Standardized Assessments

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.
