  1. Results presented as mean (standard deviation) for normally distributed data, median (25th and 75th percentile) for non-parametric data, and n (%) for categorical data. Pubertal status defined as being in Stage I (pre-adolescent) of pubic hair distribution for males; Stage I of pubic hair distribution and Stage I of breast development for females according to the 5-stage Tanner criteria. Child appetitive traits (CEBQ) presented as the mean of the sum of each subscale.
