Note: Ages 40–74 years at time of the survey. Educational attainment based on birth cohort specific tertiles. Omitted categories shown in parentheses. Model 1 excludes any measure of weight status. Model 2 includes baseline BMI and Model 3 includes baseline waist circumference. Models stratified by sex. Data are from FINRISK 1997, 2002, 2007 with follow-up through 2011. Three decimal places shown for BMI-squared and waist circumference-squared to highlight the direction of the effect size (odds ratios < 1.00).
