Categorical variables are expressed as weighted column percentages (95% CI). Body mass index, waist circumference, and glycemic testing results are expressed as mean (95% CI).
The 2015 USPSTF screening criteria were age 40-70 years and BMI ≥25kg/m2.
The 2021 USPSTF screening criteria are age 35-70 years and BMI ≥25kg/m2.
Those newly eligible are aged 35-39 years with BMI ≥25kg/m2.
These numbers represent the population size among all U.S. adults.
Overweight and obesity status were determined based on a measured BMI of ≥25kg/m2 and ≥30kg/m2, respectively, for all racial and ethnic groups. Normal weight status was defined by a BMI <25kg/m2.
Glycemic measures are expressed as weighted column percentages (95% CI) within each specified range of test values, followed by the mean value for each glycemic test.
Some estimates within strata of glycemic values may not be statistically reliable due to small sample sizes.
