A-B Predicted Weight Trajectories Across Age (A) and Time since Immigration (B) for All Hispanic/Latino Adults from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) Baseline Examination (2008–2011), and for Those Individuals <45 Years Old (Blue) or ≥45 Years (Red) Old at Baseline. A The gray weight trajectory and 95% Confidence Interval (CI) reflects the weighted average age at examination (43.6 years), proportion male (47.5%), proportion born before 1980 (80.0%), nativity/age at immigration categories, proportion for each background by study site combination (constructed to represent combinations of more than ≥100 individuals, see Table 1), and proportion with digit preference for self-reports ending in 0s or 5s (79.5%). B Among individuals who immigrated to the US first as adults (>21 years), the gray weight trajectory and 95% CI reflects the weighted average at examination (48.8 years), proportion male (45.3%), proportion immigrating before 1980 (8.4%), average age at immigration (35.5 years), proportion for each background by study site combination (see Table 1), and proportion with digit preference for self-reports ending in 0s or 5s (75.7%). The colored weight trajectories are based on the same model coefficients, but reflect the average adjustments and range of observed time points for the subset of participants who were either <45 years (blue) or ≥45 years (red) at baseline. The test of difference in pre/post immigration slope was significant (Chi-square p-value<0.0001). Examples of how to calculate population-level weight change, or the effect of demographic or sociocultural factors, based on the final model coefficients are provided as part of Supplemental Tables 3–4
