All models using sex-specific quartiles of adiposity measures adjusted for age, gender, country of birth, and highest level of education. All models using continuous adiposity measures adjusted for age, country of birth, and highest level of education, stratifying by gender, representing an approximate change of one standard deviation for each of the adiposity measures. Q1, first quartile; Q2, second quartile; Q3, third quartile; Q4, fourth quartile; F, female; M, male.
