Model 1 adjusted for age.

Model 2 was further adjusted for diabetes status (yes or no), smoking status (never, former, current) and alcohol consumption (abstainers, <1 time/2 weeks, 1-4 times/2weeks or ≥5 times/2weeks).

Model 3 was further adjusted for occupational physical activity (sedentary, walk and lift and heavy).

Numbers in italic are interactions estimates between PAI category and HUNT wave. The interpretation is as follows: aCompared with the inactive group at HUNT1, those obtaining ≥200 at HUNT1 has 1.3 kg lower body weight at HUNT1. Compared to the same reference group, inactive men had 9.1 kg higher body weight at HUNT3, and men obtaining ≥200 at HUNT3 had 1.8 kg lower body weight increase at HUNT3 (interaction estimate).

Finally, the expected body weight in the ≥200 PAI group (eTable 2) can then be calculated with the following equation: body weight in reference group – 1.3 + 9.1 – 1.8.
