^a Body mass index (BMI) is defined as a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of their height in meters. Overweight is BMI ≥25.0 and <30.0. Obesity is BMI ≥30.0. Extreme obesity is BMI ≥40.0. Pregnant women were excluded from the analysis.

^b Adjusted for age, race, sex, annual household income, and education.

^c APC is significantly different from 0.
