Table 2.

Hazard ratios for continuous duration-based measures, for participants ages 50–74 years at time of survey (n=2,505)

Continuous Duration Measures	HR (95% CI) Per 1-unit change		Coefficient/SE	HR (95% CI) per 1-unit change
Duration with BMI≥25.0 (kg/m2) (years)	1.01	(1.00–1.02)	2.51	1.10	(1.02–1.18)
BMI-years above 25.0 kg/m2	1.00a	(1.00–1.00)	3.87	1.02	(1.01–1.03)

Note: Each measure is entered into a separate model. HRs from Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for attained age, sex, educational attainment, and cigarette smoking. Estimates reflect sample weighting.

^aRounded to 3 significant digits, the HR is 1.002 (95% C=1.001–1.003)
