Trajectories of associations between body mass index (BMI) history in the 24 years prior to the first cognitive interview on the initial level (left panel) or the change with time (right panel) of the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (TICS) score in the Nurses’ Health Study (N=19,381), United States (1976-2000). 95% confidence intervals were obtained by parametric bootstrap with 500 replicates. A negative estimate indicates that increased BMI is related to worse cognition/more cognitive decline and a positive estimate indicates better cognition/less cognitive decline
