Overweight is associated with a reduced health-related quality of life (QOL), but less is known about the impact of long-term body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight (kg)/height (m) 2) patterns on QOL in adults. In the Dutch Doetinchem Cohort Study (1989-2009) that included 1,677 men and 1,731 women aged 20-66 years, 6 BMI patterns were defined by using 4 measurements over a 15-year period : 1) persistent healthy weight (18.5-24.9, reference pattern) ; 2) persistent overweight (25.0-29.9) ; 3) persistent obesity (>=30.0) ; 4) developing overweight ; 5) developing obesity ; and 6) switching between BMI categories. For each BMI pattern, adjusted QOL (measured on a 0-100 scale) was estimated at the end of this period. The lowest QOL was observed for persistent obesity of all BMI patterns. It was 5.0 points (P=0.02) lower for 1 mental dimension in men and 6.2-11.6 points (P
