Notes. Values are predicted means based on linear regression models. Adjustment was made for gender, age, parent’s education, percentage of federal poverty level, and rural versus urban residence. Levels of missing responses were less than 2% for all outcomes.

^a Average daily time spent watching television or playing video games in hours.

^b Number of servings or glasses reported the day preceding the interview.

^c Test of race/ethnicity versus Whites.

^d Omnibus F test for generational trend among Asians was significant at P < .001 for number of glasses of milk consumed (both adjusted and unadjusted models).

^e The test of differences between Asians and Latinos overall was significant P < .05 for hours of television watched or video games played (adjusted model), at P < .01 for number of glasses of milk consumed (both adjusted and unadjusted models), and at P < .001 for number of servings of vegetables consumed (both adjusted and unadjusted models) and number of glasses or cans of soda consumed (both adjusted and unadjusted models).

^f Test of generation versus Whites.

^g Omnibus F test for generational trend among Lations was significant at P < .05 for number of glasses of milk consumed (unadjusted model), at P < .01 for number of glasses of milk consumed (adjusted model), and at P < .001 for servings of fruits consumed (both adjusted and unadjusted models), servings of vegetables consumed (both adjusted and unadjusted models), and glasses or cans of soda consumed (both adjusted and unadjusted models).
