Purpose: This prospective cohort study investigated whether body mass index (BMI) and weight status in mid -adulthood were predicted by trajectories of urban -rural residence from childhood to adulthood. Methods: Participants aged 7-15 years in 1985 (n = 8498) were followed up in 2004-2006 (n = 3999, aged 26-36 years) and 2009-2011 (n = 3049, aged 31-41 years). Area of residence (AOR) was classified as urban or rural at each time point. BMI and/or weight status was calculated from self-reported weight and height (2009-2011). We tested which of three life-course models (accumulation, sensitive period, mobility) best explained the AOR-BMI and/or weight status association using a novel life-course modeling framework. Results: Accumulation and sensitive period models best described the effect of AOR on mid-adulthood BMI and weight status. Those with greater accumulated exposure to rural areas had a higher BMI ((beta = 0.29 kg/m(2) per time in a rural area, P =.005) and were more likely obese (relative risk =1.13 per time in a rural area, P =.002). Living in rural areas at ages 26-30 years was also associated with a higher BMI and obesity in mid-adulthood. Conclusions: Greater cumulative exposure to rurality and exposure during the sensitive period of young adulthood is associated with obesity in middle-aged adults. This study highlights the important contribution of context to the development of obesity over the life course. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
