Note: The ordered weight classifications are (1) Normal or Underweight, (2) Overweight, and (3) Obese. Models are weighted and adjusted for sampling design. Two-tailed tests of a significant difference between men and women are noted as follows:
†
p < .05,
‡
p < .01. Models include all control variables measured in 2003.
