Trajectories of adherence to the obesogenic dietary pattern in adolescence. The trajectories are ordered according to their mean factor loading (FL) score at baseline. A higher factor loading indicates a higher adherence to the obesogenic pattern. Trajectories were shaped using latent class growth modeling (LCGM) analysis, a longitudinal approach used to identify distinct subgroups (or "latent classes") within a population that follow similar patterns over time
