^aRegular yoga practice defined as ≥30 minutes/week in past year

^bFive-year change in body mass index (BMI) from EAT-III to EAT-IV

^cParticipants were categorized by weight status at EAT-III: non-overweight (BMI<25) and overweight (BMI≥25). Analyses are adjusted for physical activity at EAT-III, gender, ethnicity/race, educational attainment, and household income

^dDifference is the estimated change in BMI among those regularly practicing yoga minus the estimated change in BMI among those not regularly practicing yoga
