Data are % (95% CI).

*

Prevalence is age- and sex-adjusted to the Zuni Tribal population aged ≥5 years (8); variance estimates are adjusted for dependencies created by sampling within families and include the finite population correction factor.

BMI information was missing for 9 participants, physical activity information was missing for 9 participants;

participants were classified as being overweight if 85th percentile ≤ BMI < 95th percentile (age 5–19 years), or 25 ≤ BMI < 30 (age ≥20 years);

§

participants were classified as being obese if BMI ≥95th percentile (age 5–19 years), or if BMI ≥30 (age ≥20 years);

participants were classified as being physically inactive if they indicated that they had not been routinely exercising. Exercise included both leisure-time and work-related physical activity.
