Data are given as HR (95% CI). CVD indicates cardiovascular disease; and HR, hazard ratio.
*
Incident obesity events examined from baseline (year 0 [1985–1986]) to year 30 (2015–2016).
†
Models adjusted for age, study site, participant’s years of education, and average parental years of education at baseline.
