Note. SLEs = serious life events; BMI = body mass index; BDI-II = Beck Depression Inventory-II. SLEs represent the median number of total serious life events reported at study entry and throughout prospective follow-up. There were no teenage births at study entry because all participants were nulliparous. Means and standard deviations are presented for age and outcomes at study entry. Past-month cigarette use reports the total number of cigarettes smoked in the past month.
