Longitudinal analyses only run in younger cohort because family meals question was not asked of older cohort at T2

Letter superscripts^a,b indicate results of post-hoc comparison of means. Means with different letters are significantly different at p < .01, For all means, higher values indicate higher frequency of family meals.
