Figure 2:

BCDDP (w), SMC (w), WHS (w), IWHS (w), MCCS (w & m), WLHS (w) and COSM (m) had waist and hip measurements, however, WLHS was not included in the analyses because of small case numbers. Quartiles are cohort-specific (and gender specific in MCCS), then pooled. All tests of heterogeneity had p-values >0.05. Analyses are adjusted for age, education, race, smoking, and physical activity, Further adjustment for BMI at baseline changed effect sizes minimally.
