  1. β (95% CI) represents difference in yearly change in body weight (kg) or waist circumference (cm) associated with increments of each GDS (per 1 SD). Model used for generalized estimating equation analysis was adjusted for time, sex, center, intervention group, age, baseline BMI/WC (depending on the outcome) and educational level, as well as yearly measured changes in smoking status and physical activity. Obesity was defined as BMI ≥30 kg/m2, and abdominal obesity as waist circumference ≥ 88 cm (women) and ≥ 102 cm (men)
