Trends in Obesity Prevalence by Race and Hispanic Origin—1999-2000 to 2017-2018
This study uses NHANES data to assess trends in obesity and severe obesity stratified by race and Hispanic origin among US residents from 1999 to 2018.
A method for calculating BMI z-scores and percentiles above the 95 th percentile of the CDC growth charts
This method can be used, in conjunction with the current CDC BMI-for-age growth charts, to track extreme values of BMI among youth

Prevalence of Obesity Among Youths by Household Income and Education Level of Head of Household — United States 2011–2014
Obesity prevalence varies by income and education level, although patterns might differ among adults and youths (1-3). Previous analyses of national data showed that the prevalence of childhood obesity by income and education of household head varied across race/Hispanic origin groups (4). CDC analyzed 2011-2014 data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to obtain estimates of childhood obesity prevalence by household…

Prevalence of Obesity Among Adults, by Household Income and Education — United States, 2011–2014
Studies have suggested that obesity prevalence varies by income and educational level, although patterns might differ between high-income and low-income countries (1-3). Previous analyses of U.S. data have shown that the prevalence of obesity varied by income and education, but results were not consistent by sex and race/Hispanic origin (4). Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), CDC analyzed obesity preval…

Evidence that the prevalence of childhood overweight is plateauing: Data from nine countries
Until quite recently, there has been a widespread belief in the popular media and scientific literature that the prevalence of childhood obesity is rapidly increasing. However, high quality evidence has emerged from several countries suggesting that the rise in the prevalence has slowed appreciably, or even plateaued. This review brings together such data from nine countries (Australia, China, England, France, Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Sw…
