Source: L.A. FANS waves 1 and 2. With the exception of age at wave 1, and mean weight in kilograms for the two study waves, these values are percentages in the respective category. 95% confidence intervals are reported in brackets. In sex, age, and height controlled models, differences between each race/ethnicity/immigrant generation category and first generation Hispanics are statistically significant at the **1%, *5%, † 10% level.
