***Asked only of children ages 2 and
older.
The SAS code for calculating Weight-for-Age categories was obtained
from the National Center for Health Statistics' website entitled, "2000
CDC Growth Charts: United States" (www.cdc.gov/growthcharts). The
calculations use the 2000 CDC growth charts, by AGE and SEX, as the
standard for assessing weight status. Implausible values of height or
weight were excluded from the results, using World Health Organization
fixed exclusion ranges.
For some participants, callbacks were made to obtain more accurate
height and weight measurements (see "arrive at child's height/weight"
tables). The calculations of Weight-for-Age include the corrected
weights obtained from these callbacks.
*9th-12th grade includes those in college or other post high school education.
**Health Insurance categories: PRIVATE =
State Employee Health Plan, Blue Cross/Blue Shield of NC, or other
private health insurance plan purchased from an employer or directly
from insurance company.
PUBLIC = Medicaid, Carolina ACCESS, Health Check, or NC Health Choice.
OTHER = the military, CHAMPUS, TRI CARE, Indian Health Servcies or
other type not otherwise listed.
^Use caution in interpreting cell sizes
less than 50. N = numerator, % = Percentage, C.I.(95%) = Confidence
Interval (at 95 percent probability level).
Percentages are weighted to population characteristics and therefore
cannot be calculated exactly from the numbers in this table.
