MAR-Based Effects of Life-Course SES on Trajectory of BMI for Women (n = 1,205) and Men (n = 1,140)
| Women | Men | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model 1 | Model 2 | Model 1 | Model 2 | |
| Predictors of BMI intercept | ||||
| Childhood SES | −0.75***a (0.16) | −0.58*** (0.16) | −0.45***a (0.11) | −0.39** (0.11) |
| Adult SES | −1.13***a (0.24) | −0.40a (0.22) | ||
| Predictors of BMI slope | ||||
| Childhood SES | −0.39** (0.13) | −038** (0.14) | −0.25** (0.09) | −0.21* (0.09) |
| Adult SES | −0.08 (0.22) | −0.31 (0.16) |
Notes: BMI = body mass index; MAR = missing at random; SES = socioeconomic status. Controls: age, race/ethnicity, body weight at age 21, number of children.
aSignificant gender differences in the effects of childhood SES (p < .05).
*p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001.
