Main and interactive effect of external eating and mRFEI on food consumption
| Predictors | Healthful food consumption | Unhealthful food consumption | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Estimate | 95% CI | P | RR | 95% CI | P | |
| External eating score (1 SD) | −0.18 | (−0.49, 0.12) | 0.23 | 1.09 | (1.03, 1.16) | 0.004 |
| mRFEI (1 SD) | −0.05 | (−0.35, 0.25) | 0.75 | 0.98 | (0.92, 1.04) | 0.49 |
| mRFEI x external eating score | 0.24 | (−0.06, 0.54) | 0.11 | 1.00 | (0.94, 1.06) | 0.87 |
Results of regression models of healthful and unhealthful food consumption predicted by external eating status, mRFEI and their interactions, adjusted for child age, gender, language household income, and population density (n = 576), RR relative risk, CI Confidence Interval, mRFEI modified Retail Food Environment Index (proportion of food retailers classified as healthful), SD Standard Deviation
