	n/ n Events (%)	Model 1		Model 2		Model 3
Weight change		HR (95% CI)	p-Value	HR (95% CI)	p-Value	HR (95% CI)	p-Value
Weight loss	271/22 (15.4)	0.93 (0.58–1.47)	0.76	0.95 (0.60–1.51)	0.84	0.83 (0.50–1.39)	0.49
Weight stable	1196/103 (71.9)	1.00		1.00		1.00
Weight gain	197/18 (12,6)	1.17 (0.71–1.94)	0.53	1.17 (0.71–1.94)	0.52	1.15 (0.65–2.04)	0.62

n = number of observations; HR = hazard ratio; CI = confidence interval. Weight change: weight loss (≥5%), weight stable (±<5%) and weight gain (≥5%). Model 1: adjusted for sex (age as time scale in the model). Model 2: adjusted for sex (age as time scale in the model) marital status, education level, smoking status and alcohol consumption. Model 3: adjusted for sex (age as time scale in the model) marital status, education level, smoking status and alcohol consumption depression, diabetes, baseline BMI and waist circumference.
