Estimated baseline risks (BR) and risk differences (RD) by overeating trajectories and outcomes at age 16 years, adjusted for sex, gestational age, birthweight, maternal age, and maternal education

Childhood Overeating Trajectories
Binge eating (N=4354)
BR 95% CI p-value
Low overeating (N=3271)$ 0.096 0.086, 0.106 <0.001*
RD 95% CI p
Low transient (N=598) 0.024 −0.005, 0.053 0.106
Late increasing (N=548) 0.057 0.027, 0.087 <0.001*
Early increasing (N=290) 0.069 0.025, 0.112 0.002*
Purging (N=4706)
BR 95% CI p-value
Low overeating (N=3271)$ 0.024 −0.005, 0.053 <0.001
RD 95% CI p-value
Low transient (N=598) 0.011 −0.009, 0.034 0.269
Late increasing (N=548) 0.011 −0.007, 0.037 0.184
Early increasing (N=290) 0.017 −0.003, 0.065 0.078
Binge-eating disorder (N=4706)
BR 95% CI p-value
Low overeating (N=3311)$ 0.009 0.001, 0.012 <0.001*
RD 95% CI p-value
Low transient (N=606) 0.005 −0.001, 0.016 0.335
Late increasing (N=552) 0.014 0.002, 0.026 0.024
Early increasing (N=291) 0.006 −0.01, 0.02 0.357

reference group

Associations between overeating trajectories and PD were not adjusted for sex due to collinearity, as PD was not common in boys (<0.5%).
