Notes:
a
OR = .999; 95% C.I. = 0.994–1.003
b
Fully adjusted ORs for Black non-Hispanic and Hispanic groups separately are: Hispanic OR=1.97 (0.91–4.26), Black OR= 1.86 (1.03–3.36).
c
Fully adjusted ORs for self-assessed underweight and right-weight adults separately are: Underweight =1.59 (0.53–4.76), Right weight = 2.59 (1.55–4.34).
