Note: All models were adjusted for age, body max index, attrition, birth cohort, and country of residence. Models 4a and 4b were also adjusted for adult-life socioeconomic circumstance (SEC) mediators (i.e., participants’ highest educational attainment during the follow-up, main occupational position, and satisfaction with current household income). Model 4b included interaction terms between sex and early-life SECs. For the full results, see Table S2 in the Supplemental Material available online. OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval.
