  • * Based on logistic regression of Overweight and Obesity with behaviors adjusted for age, gender/sex, race/ethnicity, schooling, physical activity and other eating behaviors. Each column represents a logistic regression model of Overweight or Obese, respectively, with all questions included.

  • Data shown as odds ratio (CI).

  • Represents odds associated with eating fruits and/or vegetables more than 3 times a day.
