a

Participant characteristics were presented by age group: 5-11 years, 12-19 years and 20 years old or older. All estimates were weighted to be nationally representative.

b

For categorical variables, the odds ratios (ORs) represent the change in odds expected in each category compared with the reference group.

c

The ORs in this row represent the change in odds expected from a 1-year increase in age within this age group.

d

“Other” includes race/ethnicity other than non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and Hispanic, including multiracial.

e

P for trend over annual household income was calculated using the median value of each category as a continuous variable.

f

For weight status definitions, see the Table 1 footnotes.

g

Calculated using BMI as a continuous variable.

h

For leisure-time physical activity definitions, see the Table 1 footnotes.

i

Information on educational attainment and smoking status was collected only among participants 20 years or older.

j

P for trend over survey cycle was calculated using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2-year survey cycle as a continuous variable.
