aTime to diagnosis is expressed as mean adjusted time in months (standard error). Means were adjusted for age at accession, sex, and year of accession.

bTruly “incident” only in initially underweight or normal weight Soldiers. Time to diagnosis in overweight and obese Soldiers is given for illustrative purposes only.

cSignificantly different from normal weight, P <0.001.

dSignificantly different from normal weight, 0.001< P <0.05.
