Taking the stable weight subgroup as the reference group, among subjects with normal weight, the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) [95% confidence interval (CI)] were 0.93 (0.88, 0.99) for slightly decreased group, 1.07 (1.03, 1.13) for slowly increased group, and 1.12 (1.02, 1.23) for sharply increased group. Among participants with overweight, the HRs (95% CI) were 0.84 (0.75, 0.95) for large decreased group and 0.94 (0.89, 0.99) for slightly decreased group. Among participants with obesity, the HRs (95% CI) were 0.79 (0.64, 0.96) for large decreased group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
