Abstract | Purpose: To assess the determinants of maintaining a healthy BMI over 16 years in women, from age 18-23 to 34-39 years. Methods: 4881 women with healthy BMI at baseline, and either healthy, overweight or obese BMI at 16-year follow-up, reported weight, height, health and health behaviours in six surveys of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health between 1996 and 2012. The roles of physical activity and other determinants of BMI maintenance and change were estimated using bivariate logistic regression and generalised estimating equations (GEE). Results: Almost 60% remained in the healthy BMI category, 29% transitioned to overweight and 11.6% became obese. Mean rates of weight gain were 0.19kg/year , 0.84kg/year and 1.74kg/year respectively. In adjusted models, seven factors were associated with maintaining a healthy BMI (physical activity, alcohol, education [positive associations], smoking, high sitting time, energy intake, use of oral contraceptives [negative associations]). |
