Specific anthropometric factor was not assessed at baseline within this study and is denoted by **
BMI at early adulthood was typically ascertained at baseline via self-report
Age change represents the median age difference between age at baseline and age at BMI in early adulthood, which accounts for the age difference for the BMI change analysis (BMI at baseline - BMI in early adulthood).
