  1. BMI Body Mass Index, P value in bold indicates a statistically significant difference between the four time periods
  2. Results are given as mean (SD) or % (n); Generalized linear mixed models were used for binary variables, and linear mixed models for continuous variables with time period as a factor
  3. Bold indicates statistically significant associations, p <0.05
