C = total effects of maternal education on physical aggression. C′ = direct effect of maternal education on physical aggression after adjustment for dietary patterns and covariates. ai × bi = mediation effects of dietary patterns on the relationship between maternal education and physical aggression. The parameter estimates were presented as B(SE). X: independent variable. Mi: mediators. ***: p < .001. CI: confidence interval
