Table showing the Demographics of sample by parental feeding style, mean ± standard deviation (SD) and percentages. 1 Post hoc tests evaluated 3 comparisons between feeding styles where authoritative = 1, authoritarian = 2, indulgent = 3, uninvolved = 4. Significant differences given at p < 0.017 were indicated by the following superscripts - a: 2-3; b: 2-4; c: 2-1. 2 Numbers do not always equal 715, because not all participants provided complete data.3 BMI = wt in kg/ht in m2.
