Multivariate models are adjusted for age at baseline, age-squared, gender, race (White, Black, other), highest level of education (did not complete high school, completed high school, some college, completed college), marital status (married, divorced, separated, widowed, unmarried), and baseline body mass index (<18.5, 18.5-24.9, 25.0-29.9, 30.0-34.9, 35.0+ kg/m2).
