  1. Independent variable = parental education (ref = low) Dependent variable = breakfast consumption (ref = skippers)
  2. The a-path represents the association between parental education and the mediator/s. The b-path represents the association between the mediator/s and breakfast consumption adjusted for parental education. The c’ path represents the association between parental education and breakfast consumption (adjusted for the mediator/s). The c path represents the unadjusted association between parental education and breakfast consumption. All paths were adjusted for gender and ethnicity
  3. Bold values indicate statistically significant values
