Unweighted number of respondents. The number of respondents with each healthy behavior is reported.
Estimates are weighted and age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population.
Respondents were asked to indicate how many times per day, week, or month (during the previous month) they consumed fruit, 100% fruit juice, beans, and vegetables.
Weekly aerobic physical activity recommendations include ≥150 min of moderate-intensity PA per week, ≥75 min of vigorous-intensity PA per week, or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity PA per week.
BMI (kg/m2) was calculated using self-reported weight and height at the time of survey.
