Dyadic Growth Model Unstandardized Parameter Estimates (Intercepts and Slopes) at Combinations of BMI Averages and Differences

	Both Healthy Weight	Mixed-Weight		Both Overweight
		(M > W)	(W > M)
BMI difference BMI average	0 10th percentile	10th percentile 50th percentile	90th percentile 50th percentile	0 90th percentile
Men’s Intercept	−0.004	0.05	−0.08	−0.04
Women’s Intercept	0.026	−0.15*	0.08	−0.12*
Men’s Slope	0.000	−0.001	0.001	0.002
Women’s Slope	0.000	0.004*	0.000	0.004*

Note. Intercepts represent start values and slopes represent linear changes over time,

^*indicates the parameter estimate differs from zero with p < .05.
