Percentage of sample overweight or obese based on BMI and WC
| n | % | |
|---|---|---|
| BMI | ||
| Male | 13 | 13.8 |
| Female | 15 | 16.0 |
| WC | ||
| Male | 16 | 17.0 |
| Female | 4 | 4.3 |
BMI = body mass index (kg/m2), WC = waist circumference (cm). Unlike BMI, WC commonly uses a cutoff for obesity only, so this table reflects overweight and obesity combined.
