* Obtained from log binomial regression model adjusted for age in month, sex, and race/ethnicity.
† Calculated as 100 times the average marginal effect of year (2010 versus 2016) from logistic regression controlling for age, sex, and race. A negative value indicates that the prevalence decreased.
§ Statistically significant increase in obesity prevalence during 2010–2016 determined by trend test using log binomial regression model adjusted for age, sex, and race/ethnicity with all years of data included.
¶ Change in the data reporting system in 2016 might affect obesity prevalence.
