Baseline and longitudinal association between GL and primary stress markers of AL among women in the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study¹

	Outcome: baseline primary markers of AL		Outcome: change in primary markers of AL
	Baseline GL		GL change		GL change adjusted for baseline AL
Exposure	β (95% CI)	P	β (95% CI)	P	β (95% CI)	P
Model 1	−0.01 (−0.05, 0.02)	0.41	0.03 (0.0001, 0.07)	0.049	0.03 (0.003, 0.06)	0.029
Model 2	−0.01 (−0.05, 0.02)	0.41	0.03 (0.0001, 0.07)	0.049	0.03 (0.0007, 0.06)	0.045

¹Glycemic load and glycemic load difference are shown in increments of 10 units. Model 1 = unadjusted. Model 2 = age + BMI + menopause. Model 3 = model 2 + education + smoking + physical activity. AL, allostatic load; GL, glycemic load.
