Note.

^aM₂ is the model without adjustment for socioeconomic and health covariates (i.e., minimally adjusted model); M_{2_1} is the model adjusted for time-varying socioeconomic and health covariates; and M_{2_2} is the model adjusted also for baseline BMI (i.e., fully adjusted model).

^bFor each model, group membership represents the sample percentage in each trajectory group.

^*p < .05.

^**p < .01.
