| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS m1f8lR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : We examined the effect of race, socioeconomic status, and health insurance status on the prevalence of overweight among children and adolescents. Methods : We studied an observational cohort from the 1996 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component. Results : In the younger group, both Black and Latino children had a greater likelihood of being overweight compared with White children. Among the adolescent group, Latinos and Asian/Pacific Islanders were more likely to be overweight. Among adolescents, lacking health insurance and having public insurance were both positively associated with the prevalence of overweight. A relationship between insurance status and over weight was not observed for younger children. Conclusions : There are substantial racial differences in the prevalence of overweight for children and adolescents. Health insurance status is associated with the prevalence of overweight among adolescents. |
