In the crude model, children who frequently consumed candy showed a significant decrease in VCI scores (β = −3.20, 95% CI: −5.66∼−0.74; p = 0.011) while a not fully significant decrease in PSI scores (β = −2.63, 95% CI: −5.64∼−0.37; p = 0.085).
In the crude model, children who frequently consumed candy showed an association with an increased risk of cognitive deficit (OR = 1.61, 95% CI: 0.94∼2.78; p = 0.085), whereas children who frequently consumed biscuits showed an association with a decreased risk of cognitive deficit (OR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.34∼1.05; p = 0.072), both close to the level of significance.
