^aNumber of new sexual partners was based on self-reported lifetime number of sexual partners at follow-up (Wave IV) adjusted for lifetime number of sexual partners at Wave III

^bOnly includes sexually active, single women

^cB = beta coefficient; CI = confidence interval; adjusted for age, body mass index, sexual orientation, education, race/ethnicity, childhood sexual abuse, alcohol, tobacco, marital status, and lifetime sexual partners at Wave III.

^dOR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; adjusted for age, body mass index, sexual orientation, education, race/ethnicity, childhood sexual abuse, alcohol, and tobacco

^eOR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; adjusted for age, body mass index, sexual orientation, education, race/ethnicity, childhood sexual abuse, alcohol, tobacco, and marital status

^fED = eating disorder; DEB = disordered eating behavior including fasting or skipping meals, vomiting, diet pills, laxatives, or diuretics to lose weight

^gRestrictive eating behavior = fasting or skipping meals

^hPurging behavior = vomiting, laxatives, or diuretics to lose weight
