a Robust SE clustered on the individual.

b Weight (kg)/height (m)2.

c With the ITT approach, participants’ residences were modeled using their 2006 address, regardless of whether they moved.

d Models 2–6 adjusted for month and year indicators and measurement method (not shown).

eP < 0.01.

f Kernel density surface of good food (t − 1).

gP < 0.05.

h Indicators for use of medication (insulin, oral medication, and medications that cause weight gain or weight loss).

iP < 0.1.

j Coefficient was multiplied by 1,000 for display.
