Age-specific recommendations were used to assess dietary intake of vitamins, minerals, and energy from complementary foods.15,16 For breastfed infants. average intake from breast milk was assumed.15 Statistical test was ANCOVA, controlling for the child's age and sex, maternal education, and socioeconomic status.

Figure 2 Percentage of intervention and comparison infants and young children aged 6–30 months (n = 264) at 6-month follow-up who consumed promoted foods in the previous 2 weeks (September to October, 2009). *P < .05; **P < .001: Significance is based on the difference in the proportion of children consuming foods in the intervention and comparison groups. Fisher's exact test was used to compare the proportions of children consuming foods in the Food Frequency Questionnaire and was confirmed with binary logistic regression with adjustment for age, sex, and socioeconomic status.
