* Data are based on self–reported height
and weight from the BRFSS, which were used to calculate body mass
index (BMI) using the following formula: {[Weight in lbs. x
0.4536]/[(height in inches x 0.2540)2]} x 100. BMI >30.0 was
considered obese. Data are for adults >18 years, are age–adjusted to
the 2000 U.S. population, and are weighted for the probability of
sampling.
