Table 3. Amount of ice cream selected (number scoops ± s.e.) after each of the two feeding patterns by NW and OB children at the first and second servings and as the total of both selections.
Group (serving) | Three feedings | Five feedings | Differential |
---|---|---|---|
NW (first) | 3.28 ± 0.25 | 2.94 ± 0.29 | 0.33 ± 0.37 |
OB (first) | 3.29 ± 0.21 | 3.18 ± 0.27 | 0.12 ± 0.21 |
NW (second) | 1.39 ± 0.36 | 1.28 ± 0.33 | 0.11 ± 0.27 |
OB (second) | 1.29 ± 0.37 | 2.12 ± 0.39* | −0.82 ± 0.33** |
NW (total) | 4.67 ± 0.52 | 4.22 ± 0.48 | 0.44 ± 0.47 |
OB (total) | 4.59 ± 0.52 | 5.29 ± 0.63 | −0.71 ± 0.45 |
NW, normal weight; OB, obese.
Differential amounts were determined by subtracting the selected amount after five feedings from the amount after three feedings. P values were determined by two-factor linear mixed model analysis (weight group and feeding pattern and group × pattern interaction).
P < 0.05 compared to three feeding pattern.
P < 0.05 compared to NW by Bonferroni post-test.
