Note. BMI=Body mass index (kg/m2); inflammation measured with high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein; Models include intercept (age 20 BMI), Age (years), education (years), ethnicity (0=other; 1=non-Hispanic white) and smoking (0= Never smokers; 1= Former smokers; 2= Current smokers; Never smoker = reference group) as covariates in models with family as a random effect. Bold indicates values significant with 95% CI. Age measured in years. VETSA 2 measures = Age 62.
