Continuous outcomes Number of somewhat, very, or extremely upsetting events*
0 (n=165) ≥ 1 (n=332) ≥ 2 (n=233) ≥ 3 (n=166) ≥ 4 (n=100)
BMI (kg/m2) mean (SD) 36.4 (9.2) 36.8 (7.8) 36.8 (7.8) 37.4 (8.3) 38.1 (8.2)
P-value --- 0.5134 0.5268 0.2162 0.1034

HbA1c (%) mean (SD) 7.6 (2.4) 8.0 (2.5) 7.9 (2.5) 8.0 (2.5) 8.0 (2.5)

Category ≥ 2 is a subset of category ≥ 1, and so on.
