  1. Abbreviation: BMI, body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared)
  2. Percentages and means were estimated using US population weights
  3. Values are weighted mean ± SE for continuous variables (Analysis of Variance, ANOVA) or weighted % for categorical variables (Chi-square test)
  4. Race/ethnicity was determined using preferred terminology from the National Center for Health Statistics as non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and Mexican American. Mexican
