Association between Black and White Men with being Overweight/Obese and Obese in 2003 NHIS and EHDIC-SWB^*

	NHIS 2003^a	EHDIC-SWB
	O.R. (95% CI)	O.R. (95% CI)
Obese^b	1.29 (1.12–1.49)	1.06 (0.70–1.62)

OR=odds ratio; CI=confidence interval; White adults are the reference category.

Only models that contained variables in both EHDIC and NHIS 2003 datasets were conducted. All estimates using NHIS 2003 data account for the stratified, multistage probability sampling design by applying the appropriate weights and strata variables.

Obese is defined as BMI ≥ 30.

Models included race, age, marital status, insurance status, household income, education level, fair/poor health, physical inactivity, smoking and drinking status, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and stroke.
