aColumn percentage, consisting of the absolute and relative frequency of each category.
bCount of new cases and incidence proportion, with relative frequency of new cases given the total number of individuals at risk in each category.
cRelative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) obtained by simple Poisson regression with robust variance estimator, with new cases of obesity between 2015 and 2019 as the dependent variable.
dRelative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) obtained by multiple Poisson regression with robust variance estimator, using new cases of obesity between 2015 and 2019 as the dependent variable, adjusted for age.
