Note: Change over time was calculated for each independent variable from T2 to T1 and from T3 to T1, if available. The results presented reflect the effect of change in the independent variable from T1 to T2 predicting change in fasting glucose at T2, and the effect of change in the independent variable from T1 to T3 predicting change in fasting glucose at T3, averaged across T2 and T3. All models are also adjusted for education level (<high school [referent category], completed high school or GED, some college or technical schooling, or college graduate or post-graduate education), and occupational category (not employed/laborer/service worker [referent category], clerical or sales, or managerial/professional occupation), data not shown.

LCL Lower Confidence Limit; UCL Upper Confidence Limit; Timepoint 1 T1; Timepoint 2 T2; Timepoint 3 T3.
