Note. N=12,188. Coefficients are standardized beta coefficients from linear regression or estimated marginal means (standard errors) from MANCOVA, controlling for age, sex, race, ethnicity, and education. For the MANCOVA, the reference group is normal weight.

Remains significant controlling for domain-level Conscientiousness.
