Results of multiple regression models testing the independent and interactive associations of maternal body mass index and child food neophobia on child body fat indexes

Predictor Variables in Model	Child Body Fat Indexes:

	BMIz	%fat	Waist Circumference

Maternal Body Mass Index (BMI)	β=−0.47	β=−0.43	β=−0.13
	t= −1.74	t= −1.25	t= −0.45
	p= 0.08	p= 0.22	p= 0.66

Child Food Neophobia	β=−0.77	β=−0.66	β=−0.50
	t= −2.09	t= −1.21	t= −1.31
	p= 0.04	p= 0.23	p= 0.20

Interaction Term	β=1.03	β=0.88	β=0.66
	t= 2.35	t= 1.34	t= 1.35
	p= 0.02	p= 0.18	p= 0.18

Overall Model Fit	F=2.67	F=0.69	F=2.66
	p= 0.05	p= 0.56	p= 0.05
	R²= 0.06	R²= 0.02	R²= 0.08

Note. Beta (β) refers to the standardized association between the respective predictor variable and the child body fat index used in the particular regression model.
