Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials was conducted to study the medium-long term impact of a complementary weaning using adult foods typical of Mediterranean Diets (MD) on children taste development and eating habits, and on the microbiota composition.

Main objectives were to assess the effect of such weaning scheme on:

1. medium-long term adherence of the children to the MD (Primary aim).
2. familial eating habits to verify how many changes may come from an early education of the kid toward a Mediterranean eating style
3. the BMI of the children
4. gut microbiota composition
