For Sex, M = males (n = 4,385), F = females (n = 4,999); for Body weight, Nor = normal (n = 3,186), OW = over weight (n = 3,315), OB = obese (n = 2,893); for Races, W = Whites (n = 4,533), B = Blacks (n = 1,810), H = Hispanics (n = 2,766), O = Others (n = 275); and for education, 1 = under high school (n = 2,777), 2 = high school diploma (n = 2,223), 3 = above high school (n = 4,384). Compared to F, Age group ≤ 30, Nor, W, or education-1, letter (a) = p < 0.05, (b) = p < 0.01 and (c) = p < 0.001 with the adjustment as indicated in statistical analysis.
