Reduced regression model predicting weight change over time1
Coefficient2 | 95% CI | P | |
Baseline weight (kg) | 0.991 | 0.979, 1.002 | <0.001 |
Age (y) | −0.005 | −0.027, 0.017 | 0.717 |
Time (y) | 0.546 | 0.261, 0.830 | <0.001 |
n = 148 Nigerian and 172 US women with a total of 987 weight determinations. Reduced model log likelihood ratio = −2600.99.
Estimated regression coefficients of a mixed-effects, random-coefficient model of weight on time adjusted for age and baseline weight, with no interaction terms.
