Earlier studies found that a strong dissatisfaction with the body is a predictive factor of unhealthy practices for weight control, suggesting that in order to decrease unhealthy behaviors, it might be important to develop interventions that aim at enhancing the right perception of the child's own body and at developing realistic goals to be achieved through diet [ 26, 27].
We further classified the participants according to the joint categories of birth weight and the number of unhealthy lifestyle factors, with the group of birth weight 3.16-3.82 kg and at least four unhealthy lifestyle factors as the reference.
We also classified participants according to the joint categories of birth weight and the number of unhealthy lifestyle factors.
In their study, Fortin et al. found that the likelihood of multimorbidity was associated with the number of unhealthy lifestyle factors [ 7].
The graded increasing risk of type 2 diabetes with increasing number of unhealthy lifestyle factors seemed to be consistent across all the five birth weight categories (figure), which was consistently observed in all three cohorts (supplementary table B).
Most positive intervention-related changes identified by the HCWs were of a specific character, and were directly related to areas identified as risk factors of unhealthy time pressure, implying that interventions successfully hit targeted areas (e.g. buying more cars, sorting out work lists).
We found significant additive interactions between low birth weight and the number of unhealthy lifestyle factors (P for additive interaction <0.0001 for all cohorts).
Health status, which was operationalized in various ways (e.g. presence of unhealthy lifestyle factors or chronic disease and self-reported health) was in both positively and negatively related to participation in an equal way.
In addition, when analysing one of the unhealthy lifestyle factors, models were additionally adjusted for the other lifestyle factors.
