^aAll models control for mean-centered age in 2005 (in months), sex, the interaction between age and sex, log-transformed average inflation-adjusted income from 1983 to 2005, average urbanicity score from 1983 to 2005, smoking status (current, former, and never smoker), and ten principal component scores of genome-wide data.

^bAll p-values are raw, unadjusted p-values. Significance levels in these models are set at an adjusted alpha value of 0.0125.

^cAll models with waist circumference further controlled for mean-centered height and mean-centered age in each of the measurement periods.
