Notes on Methodology

Obesity status is calculated using body mass index (BMI), a singular, indirect indicator of body fat meant to identify weight-related health risk. Though useful at the population level, BMI has limited usefulness at the individual level.

Adults with a disability are statistically more likely to have obesity compared to adults with no disability.
