From: Educational mobility and weight gain over 13 years in a longitudinal study of young women
Highest achieved education and weight gain over 13 years in women from the 1973–78 ALSWH cohort (n = 9 573). Difference in baseline weight and weight gain over 13 years (random effects model with a random intercept and slope, adjusted for area of residence and baseline centred age and height), based on highest achieved education at Survey Five (age 31–36 years). Education categorised as ‘Low’ (higher school certificate or lower - ≤12 years), ‘Intermediate’ (trade/certificate/diploma) or ‘High’ (degree or higher).
