Prevalence of Obesity Among US Adults by Race/Ethnicity, State & Territory, BRFSS 2021-2023
This study analyzes obesity prevalence among US adults based on self-reported weight and height by race/ethnicity, state, and territory using data collected through the BRFSS in 2021-2023. The findings show varying obesity rates across different demographics, with insights into Non-Hispanic White adults' obesity prevalence by state and territory.

Prevalence of Obesity Based on Self-Reported Weight and Height Among US Adults by Race/Ethnicity, State and Territory, BRFSS, 2021 2023 Definitions Obesity: Body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2or higher. Body mass index (BMI): A calculated measure of weight relative to height, defined as body weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.
Prevalence of Obesity Based on Self-Reported Weight and Height Among US Adults by Race/Ethnicity, State and Territory, BRFSS, 2021 2023 Method The data were collected through the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), an ongoing, state-based, telephone interview survey conducted by state health departments with assistance from CDC. Height and weight data used in the BMI calculations were self- reported. Three years of data were combined to ensure sufficient sample size.
Prevalence of Obesity Based on Self-Reported Weight and Height Among US Adults by Race/Ethnicity, State and Territory, BRFSS, 2021 2023 Exclusion Criteria Records with the following were excluded: Height: <3 feet or 8 feet Weight: <50 pounds or 650 pounds BMI: <12 kg/m2or 100 kg/m2 Pregnant women
Prevalence of Obesity Based on Self-Reported Weight and Height Among Non-Hispanic White Adults, by State and Territory, BRFSS, 2021 2023 *Sample size <50, the relative standard error (dividing the standard error by the prevalence) 30%, or no data in a specific year.
