Added Sugars Intake Relationship to Brain Function

Assess the impact of added sugars intake measured by 24-hour dietary intake on the brain's function via EEG (task-based (Go/NoGo task) event-related potentials (ERPs)) to identify brain activity related to inhibitory control, quantified by amplitude for the Go and NoGo conditions. Maternal dietary intake information was collected at baseline in the ADORE study between 12-20 weeks gestation. Offspring dietary intake information was collected at 6-months, 12-months, and 24-months of age in the ADORE GAINS study. Dietary intake, MRI, EEG, and cognition were assessed at age 5-6 years in the present study.

Time frame: Day 1 in the present study (age 5-6 years old); Baseline, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months in the ADORE GAINS study; Baseline (12-20 weeks gestation) in the ADORE study;

Population: only 18 participants had both complete/valid dietary data and EEG data
