Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the relationship between different levels of parental restriction of MDS-containing foods and the intake of MDS-containing foods, the average amount of consumed sugar and sweetness preferences between children facing high, medium and low parental restrictions regarding MDS-containing foods will be compared. Due to having one main independent variable (parental restriction) and two main dependent variables (sweetness preference and intake of sweet MDS-containing foods), two analyses of variances (ANOVA) will be conducted to examine differences in children’s liking for each kind of apple juice (assessed through preference test) and their average sugar consumption. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters are the background ideas for restriction rules and the influence of parents’ educational level on restrictiveness. The influence of parents’ educational on restrictiveness will be assessed by using analysis of variance (ANOVA). | — |
