  1. Estimated rate of weight change per year by multi-level regression model. Data were collected from 1995 to 1999 from Nigeria, Jamaica and the United States (US). Only individuals who do not have all three weight determinations are included (non-completers).
  2. * Sample size. †Δ weight = weight change in kilograms per year. ‡SE = standard error.
