Associations between body mass index (BMI) at age 20 years, weight gain during adulthood and BMI at middle age, and abdominal adipose tissue cell volume in the Oxford Biobank (n = 114)

	Median AT cell volume, μm3
	β (95% CI)
Standardized BMI at age 20 y (SD)a	240 (24-456)
Standardized adult weight gain (SD)b	386 (143-629)
Standardized BMI at middle age (SD)	383 (160-605)

All analyses are adjusted for sex and age at adipose tissue biopsy. SD BMI at age 20: 2.7; SD adult weight gain: 3.5; SD BMI at middle age 3.8.

Abbreviation: AT, adipose tissue.

^a Additionally adjusted for adult weight gain.

^b Additionally adjusted for BMI at age 20 years.
