Note: Presented are estimates from the full model, separately for men and women. The full model includes race/ethnicity, age, age-squared, education, income-to-needs, number of children, marital status, and Food Stamp participation, the coefficients of which are not shown in the table.
The superscripts (a, b, and c) indicate that the difference in coefficients are significant between Stage-1 obesity cutoff and overweight cutoff (a), between Stage-2 obesity cutoff and Stage-1 obesity cutoff (b), and between Stage-2 obesity cutoff and overweight cutoff (c).
