The final model included changes in body weight at each examination year as time-dependent covariates to examine the effects of diabetes on the changes of each body composition parameters while adjusting for the changes in overall body weight.
In addition, as insulin levels were unavailable at examination years 2 and 5, we re-examined three exposures of interest in relation to incidence of HTN using examination year 7 as baseline.
After adjusting for age, baseline examination year, and survey response year, the odds of reporting depressive symptoms were 31% lower for men with moderate CRF (odds ratio, OR 0.69; 95% confidence interval, CI 0.56 0.85) and 51% lower for men with high CRF (OR 0.49, CI 0.39 0.60), compared to men with low CRF.

Three knots were placed for the year at examination (year 1954, 1959 and 1964) and four knots for the year of birth (year 1930 , 1935 1940, 1945 and 1950).
Data from each examination year are cross sectional.
The later examination year, the more teeth were left.
Multivariable regression models assessed the influence of examination year 5 modifiable risk factors on examination year 25 LAD, LAD/BSA and LAD/height.
Higher BMI was related to higher CARDIA examination year 25 LAD and LAD/height.
We defined presence of diabetes at baseline if any of these criteria was present at examination year 5. New cases of diabetes at examination year 25 were computed if the criteria for diabetes were established over the period between examination year 5 and the end of follow-up at examination year 25.
Of note, when we used examination year 7 as baseline, the results were consistent.
