Statistically significant differences between Cannabis users and nonusers are indicated with bold font. Only one data point shows AOR >1. Hedges g statistic=−1.07.

^{^a}

Data from two databases, NESARC, National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (2001–2002); NCS-R, National Comorbidity Survey–Replication (2001–2003). Adjusted for sex, age, race/ethnicity, educational level, marital status, region, and tobacco smoking status. Prevalence of obesity significantly lower in Cannabis users in both data sets (p<0.001).

^{^b}

Age-standardized.

^{^c}

Odds ratio for BMI ≥25. Adjusted for participant's gender and age, mother's age and education, participant's cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, anxiety/depression and aggression/delinquency, participants BMI at 14 years.

^{^d}

Regular user, OR for abdominal obesity. Adjusted for age, gender, education, participation in at least moderate physical activity, weekly alcohol use, income to poverty ratio, having health insurance, marital status, other illicit drug use and having had rehabilitation.

^{^e}

Controlled for adolescent obesity status, gender, ethnicity, and average family income.

^{^f}

Controlled for age, level of education, race/ethnicity, income, marital status, region of country, urban vs. rural residence, and lifetime and past year DSM-IV diagnoses of any mood disorder, any anxiety disorder, any personality disorder, any alcohol use disorder, and nicotine dependence.
