Model 1: Age adjusted model.

Multivariable model 2: Model 1 further adjusted for age (months), parity (1, 2, 3, 4+), age at first birth (12–24, 25–29, ≥ 30), race/ethnicity (Caucasian, African-American, Hispanic, Asian, others), family history of diabetes (yes, no), oral contraceptive use (current, former, never), menopausal status (premenopausal, postmenopausal), cigarette smoking (current, former, never), alcohol intake (0, 0.1–4.9, 5.0–14.9, or ≥ 15 g/d, for DASH score only), total energy intake (kcals/d, quartiles), physical activity (MET hrs/week, quartiles), birth weight (≤5.4, 5.5–6.9, 7–8.4, 8.5–9.9, 10+lbs), hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (yes, no), family history of hypertension (yes, no), aspirin use (yes, no), acetaminophen use (yes, no), other anti-inflammatory medication use (yes, no), BMI at age 18 (≤19.9, 20.0–21.9, 22.0–24.9, 25.0–29.9, 30+ kg/m2).

Multivariable model 3: multivariable model 2 plus additional adjustment for updated BMI (≤22.9, 23.0–24.9, 25.0–26.9, 27.0–29.9, 30.0–34.9, 35.0+ kg/m2).
