About this study

Official title: The Effect of Solid, Semi-Solid and Fluid Dairy Products on Short-Term Food Intake and Satiety in Children

Dairy products have the potential to be healthy snack foods for children and are provided in a variety of food matrices. For instance, milk represents a fluid product, yogurt can be classified as a semi-solid food, and finally, cheese is the example of solid food. This experiment is aimed to examine the effect of dairy products with different food matrices on satiety and food intake in children. Dairy products will be compared with other non-dairy snacks popular among children including cookies and potato chips.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Food intake (grams and kcal) measured with a test meal

    The amount of energy (kcal) consumed ad libitum with the test meal (pizza lunch) two hours later.

    Measured: 120 min

  2. Subjective appetite measured with Visual Analogue Scales

    The subjective assessment of appetite parameters including a desire to eat, fullness, hunger and a prospective food consumption measured with 100 mm Visual Analogue Scales with two opposite statements at each end (e.g., for the hunger scale, 0 mm means not hungry at all, and 100 mm means very hungry).

    Measured: 0-120 min

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cortisol

    The concentration of salivary cortisol

    Measured: 0-120 min
