a

For the age-adjusted model, it was adjusted for baseline (1996) age (years) and waist circumference (continuous, cm). Data on weight training was presented in 2008 without adjustment for PA at baseline (1996).

b

Multivariate model 1 is adjusted for the same variables in the age-adjusted model in addition to total average alcohol intake (1994, 2006), (0; >0-<2.5; 2.5-5; >5-10; >10 g/day; missing); sugar-sweetened beverage intake (1994, 2006), (0; >0-0.5; >0.5-1; >1 servings/day); percent energy of trans-fat (1994, 2006), (quintiles); energy-adjusted fibers (1994, 2006) (quintiles g/day), energy-adjusted glycemic load (1994, 2006) (quintiles); smoking (1996, 2008) (never; past; nonsmoker, unknown past history; current; missing), anti-depressant intake (1996, 2008) (never; current; past), percent energy of protein intake, (1994, 2006) (quintiles), sleep duration (2000, 2008) (continuous, hours/day), in addition to slow walking, TV watching, moderate-to-vigorous aerobic activity, and other activities (all in 1996, 2008), and weight training (1996) (all categorical, min/day).

c

Multivariate model 2 is adjusted for the same variables in multivariate model 1 in addition to weight (1996, 2008) (continuous, kg).

d

For the body weight change outcome, the age-adjusted model was adjusted for baseline (1996) age (years) and body weight (continuous, kg). Data on weight training was presented in 2008 without adjustment for PA at baseline (1996).

e

Model 3 is adjusted for the same covariates in model 1 except for waist circumference and in addition to baseline height (m) and weight (kg).

f

Same as model 3 in addition to waist circumference (1996, 2008) (continuous, cm).
