Longitudinal changes in anthropometric measures over time (ie, the ageing effect) within each sex and age group were analysed using mixed effects models. All regression models were adjusted for education and lifestyle factors.Results In cross-sectional analysis, older age was associated with lower BMI, WC and WHtR, but higher WHR in both sexes.
