B = parameter estimate. SE = Standard error. a Percentage food wasted = (total food wasted/total food plated) × 100. b Percentage food left over = (total food left over/total food plated) × 100. General linear model was conducted on each row variable as a dependent variable and each column variable as an independent variable, controlling for age and BMI z-score group (categorized as BMI z-score > 1 vs. BMI z-score ≤ 1). Bold italic indicates that the column factor eating questionnaire is p-value < 0.05.
