^aAll data come from waves I–IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Cell entries represent linear mixed-model parameter estimates for the average effect of parental incarceration on BMI across 4 waves of the study (models 1–4) and change (Δ) in BMI from wave II to wave IV (model 5). In all models, the unit of analysis for BMI is weight (kg)/height (m)².
