Note: Unmarked values = not significantly different from normal-weight class.

*Overweight and obese trajectory classes are significantly different from each other and from normal-weight class.

Overweight and obese trajectory classes differ significantly from normal-weight class, but not from each other.

Cognitive impairment indicated by Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire error score ≥4.

§Depression indicated by modified Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale score ≥9.
