Prevalence estimates of obesity (body mass index ≥30.0 kg/m²) among breast cancer survivors, by race/ethnicity (percent)—BRFSS, 2009

	<5 years since diagnosis		5+ years since diagnosis
	%	95 % CI	%	95 % CI
White, Non-Hispanic	26.2	(23.3–29.4)	23.0	(21.2–24.9)
Black, Non-Hispanic	26.8	(18.6–37.0)	34.8	(27.0–43.5)
Hispanic	28.5	(14.5–48.2)	27.0	(18.3–37.8)
Other	7.8	(3.8–15.4)	22.0	(13.1–34.5)

White, Black and “Other” respondents are of non-Hispanic ethnicity. “Other” includes respondents who self-identified as Asian, Native Hawaiian, other Pacific Islander, American Indian, Alaska Native or other. Breast cancer survivors consist of all female respondents who reported a previous diagnosis of breast cancer. Prevalence estimates are calculated as predictive margins from logistic regression models
