MCAR-Based Effects of Life-Course SES on Trajectory of BMI for Women (n = 555) and Men (n = 483)
| Women | Men | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model 1 | Model 2 | Model 1 | Model 2 | |
| Predictors of BMI intercept | ||||
| Childhood SES | −0.88*** (0.25) | −0.73*** (0.25) | −0.61*** (0.13) | −0.52*** (0.13) |
| Adult SES | −0.95* (0.35) | −0.77* (0.32) | ||
| Predictors of BMI slope | ||||
| Childhood SES | −0.34* (0.15) | −0.29 (0.16) | −0.23** (0.09) | −0.23** (0.09) |
| Adult SES | −0.29 (0.26) | −0.03 (0.17) |
Notes: BMI = body mass index; MCAR = missing completely at random; SES = socioeconomic status. Controls: age, race/ethnicity, body weight at age 21, number of children.
*p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001.
