Abbreviations: aPR, adjusted prevalence ratio; BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; CVH, cardiovascular health.

a

Adjusted for age, sex, education, income, and race/ethnicity.

b

Weighted aPR presented.

c

Compared with individuals considered overweight/obese (BMI ≥25) or underweight (BMI <18.5). BMI is calculated as weight in kilograms (kg) divided by height in meters squared.

d

P < .0063 for differences reported.
