Figure 2 Patterns of BMI change in adulthood and cIMT at age 60–64 years Data expressed as mean cIMT and 95% CI for each BMI group. Test for trend for O/O since 1982 to O/O since 09: p<0·0001. Pairwise comparison of never O/O versus O/O: p=0·68 since 2009; p=0·033 since 1999; p=0·012 since 1989; p<0·0001 since 1982; and lost and gained, p=0·73. Comparison of never lost weight (composite of O/O since 2009, since 1999, since 1989 and 1982) versus: lost and gained, p=0·002; and never O/O, p=0·001. O/O=overweight or obese. *17 participants lost weight and did not regain it.
