*Expressed as per standard deviation change. Model 1: univariate analyses. Model 2 controlled for birth cohort, education, and income. Model 3 controlled for birth cohort, education, income, and BMI at baseline. Model 4 controlled for birth cohort, education, income, smoking before age 20, BMI at age 20, BMI at baseline, and participation in team sports during adolescence.
