The DIC for both EH categorizations and with or without BMI adjustment is shown for each model. The model descriptions are as follows: (1) intercept by EH status, (2) intercept by EH status + common time RW, (3) intercept by EH status + time RW by EH status, (4) intercept by EH status + common time RW + mean iPTH, (5) intercept by EH status + common time RW + mean iPTH per EH status, (6) intercept by EH status + common time RW + iPTH, (7) intercept by EH status + common time RW + iPTH per EH status, (8) intercept by EH status + common time RW + iPTH per visit, (9) intercept by EH status + common time RW + iPTH per EH status per visit, (10) intercept by EH status + time RW per EH status + iPTH per EH status per visit.
