-
aHigher number of externalizing behaviors is equivalent to a lower T-score
-
bFrom a linear mixed effects regression model with continuous added sugar (% of Calories) or sodium intake (mg/1000 Calories) as the outcome and continuous externalizing SCBE T-scores as the predictor, expressed per 5 points. The model also accounted for total energy intake at follow-up. A random intercept was specified to account for clustering by classroom
-
cAdjusted for race/ethnicity, quartiles of income-to-needs ratio, and overweight/obese status at baseline as potential confounders
