Prospective associations of infant food exposures and appetitive traits with early childhood diet quality by Tonja R. Nansel, Amara Channell-Doig, Leah M. Lipsky, Kyle Burger, Grace Shearrer, Anna Maria Siega-Riz, Yong Ma

“…At child ages 3.5 and 5 years, parents provided two 24-h dietary recalls, from which the Healthy Eating Index-2020 was calculated to measure diet quality. Structural equation models using maximum likelihood estimation examined associations of age at introduction to, and intake frequency of, fruit/vegetables and discretionary foods, and their interactions with food-approach and food-avoidance appetitive traits, on child diet quality at ages 3.5 & 5 years, controlling for income, education, and breastfeeding duration. …”
