Longitudinal Association Between Stressors and BMI (N = 3,956)

Stressors	B	CI (95%)
Acute stress	0.05	−0.03, 0.13
Discrimination stress	0.12	0.02, 0.21
Financial stress	0.16	0.06, 0.26
Neighborhood stress	−0.02	−0.11, 0.07
Relationship stress	0.20	0.10, 0.31
Cumulative high stress	0.08	−0.10, 0.17
Cumulative stress burden	0.21	0.10, 0.32

Notes: Separate models were tested to quantify the association between each stress and body mass index (BMI). All models controlled for age, education, gender, income, race, smoking, and drinking.
