Note. BMI = body mass index; CI = confidence interval.

a

Adjusted for age.

b

In addition to age, adjusted for limiting long-standing illness, depressive symptoms, educational level, occupational class, marital status, number of years lived at current address, physical activity, alcohol consumption, and smoking status.

c

Mutually adjusted for alternative neighborhood measure (subjective disorder or objective deprivation) in addition to variables adjusted for in model 2. P < .001 for interaction between objective deprivation and gender. P = .1 for interaction between subjective disorder and gender.
