BMI, Body mass index; CI, confidence interval.

^aProfile 1=absence of symptoms; profile 2=adolescent-onset repeated symptoms; profile 3=adolescent-onset symptoms with good adult outcome; profile 4=adult-onset repeated symptoms.

^bp Value for sex×profile interaction.

^cCoefficients represent the mean difference in BMI at age 15 years between each profile and profile 1.

^dCoefficients represent the mean difference in BMI change per year (from 15 to 53 years) between each profile and profile 1.
