Change in waist circumference from baseline to follow-up, in Mauritian men and women, by tertile of pulse consumption at baseline

		Change (95% CI) in waist circumference, cm
	N	Tertile 1	Tertile 2	Tertile 3
Model 1
All	794	1.0 (0.3, 1.7)	0.4 (−0.2, 1.1)	−0.3 (−1.0, 0.3)‡
Men	374	2.2 (1.3, 3.1)	1.2 (0.2, 2.1)	1.3 (0.4, 2.2)
Women	420	−0.2 (−1.2, 0.8)	−0.2 (−1.2, 0.7)	−1.6 (−2.4, −0.7)*
Model 2
All	788	0.8 (0.1, 1.5)	0.4 (−0.2, 1.1)	−0.1 (−0.8, 0.5)
Men	373	2.1 (1.1, 3.0)	1.1 (0.2, 2.1)	1.5 (0.5, 2.4)

Model 1 adjusted for age at baseline, and model 2 for age at baseline plus variables associated with energy-adjusted consumption of pulses at baseline and/or the follow-up outcome in men and/or women (ethnicity, baseline occupational physical activity, smoking, energy-adjusted consumption of vegetables, fiber, potatoes, canned fish and beef).

^‡Significantly different from tertile 1 (P<0.05).

^*Significantly different from tertiles 1 and 2 (P<0.05).
