Values are estimated differences from a linear mixed model or a generalized mixed model. BMI body mass index; HDL high-density lipoprotein; LDL low-density lipoprotein; SE standard error.

aSignificantly different from the mean of 2006 cohort at α = 0.017 (based on Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons).

bSignificantly different from the mean of 2007 cohort at α = 0.017 (based on Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons).

cSignificantly different from the mean of 2008 cohort at α = 0.017 (based on Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons).

*p < .05 for test with H0: mean difference is equal to 0 (within-cohort changes).
