  1. Results are from proportional odds models. Results are displayed as ORs of change in BMI status (contrasting increase vs constant high/low or decrease; or increase or constant high/low vs decrease) per unit increase in the original scale of generalized trust, interaction with friends, participation of organized social activities, emotional social support, or instrumental social support. ORs > 1 indicate a positive change in the outcome (i.e. overweight/obesity) as a response to an improvement of exposure
