Adjusted mean change^* in BMI and WC per 1-SD increment in 20-year change, Y0, or Y20 APDQS

^*Multivariable linear models are reported. Model was adjusted for current age, sex, race (White or Black), total energy intake (Y0 and 20-year change), smoking status (Y0; never, former, and current), physical activity level (Y0 and 20-year change; tertiles), and highest grade of education achieved during follow-up.

^†Joint predictor models. Each model included Y0 APDQS and 20-year change in APDQS. Depending on outcome variables, the following variables were also included in the model: Y0 BMI for concurrent 20-year change in BMI, Y20 BMI for subsequent 10-year change in BMI, Y0 WC for concurrent 20-year change in WC, and Y20 WC for subsequent 10-year change in WC, Y0 weight for concurrent 20-year change in weight, and Y20 weight for subsequent 10-year change in weight.

^‡Single predictor models.
