Differences in Obesity Prevalence by Demographics and Urbanization in US Children and Adolescents, 2013-2016
Open accessAbstract
Importance: Differences in childhood obesity by demographics and urbanization have been reported. Objective: To present data on obesity and severe obesity among US youth by demographics and urbanization and to investigate trends by urbanization. Design, Setting, and Participants: Measured weight and height among youth aged 2 to 19 years in the 2001-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, which are serial, cross-sectional, nationally representative surveys of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population. Exposures: Sex, age, race and Hispanic origin, education of household head, and urbanization, as assessed by metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs; large: ≥ 1 million population). Main Outcomes and Measures: Prevalence of obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥95th percentile of US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] growth charts) and severe obesity (BMI ≥120% of 95th percentile) by subgroups in 2013-2016 and trends by urbanization between 2001-2004 and 2013-2016. Results: Complete data on weight, height, and urbanization were available for 6863 children and adolescents (mean age, 11 years; female, 49%). In 2013-2016, the prevalence among youth aged 2 to 19 years was 17.8% (95% CI, 16.1%-19.6%) for obesity and 5.8% (95% CI, 4.8%-6.9%) for severe obesity. Prevalence of obesity in large MSAs (17.1% [95% CI, 14.9%-19.5%]), medium or small MSAs (17.2% [95% CI, 14.5%-20.2%]) and non-MSAs (21.7% [95% CI, 16.1%-28.1%]) were not significantly different from each other (range of pairwise comparisons P = .09-.96). Severe obesity was significantly higher in non-MSAs (9.4% [95% CI, 5.7%-14.4%]) compared with large MSAs (5.1% [95% CI, 4.1%-6.2%]; P = .02). In adjusted analyses, obesity and severe obesity significantly increased with greater age and lower education of household head, and severe obesity increased with lower level of urbanization. Compared with non-Hispanic white youth, obesity and severe obesity prevalence were significantly higher among non-Hispanic black and Hispanic youth. Severe obesity, but not obesity, was significantly lower among non-Hispanic Asian youth than among non-Hispanic white youth. There were no significant linear or quadratic trends in obesity or severe obesity prevalence from 2001-2004 to 2013-2016 for any urbanization category (P range = .07-.83). Conclusions and Relevance: In 2013-2016, there were differences in the prevalence of obesity and severe obesity by age, race and Hispanic origin, and household education, and severe obesity was inversely associated with urbanization. Demographics were not related to the urbanization findings.

“Tabular and graphical presentation of obesity and severe obesity prevalence over this period included point estimates and CIs with combined 4-year NHANES data for 2001–2004, 2005–2008, 2009–2012, and 2013–2016 because these estimates were more stable than the estimates based on 2 years of data.”

The youth excluded from analysis due to missing weight, height, or pregnancy did not differ systematically from included youth in ways that would bias obesity prevalence estimates.
“In 2013–2016, 152 youth aged 2 to 19 years were missing weight, height, or both and 9 were pregnant and were excluded from the analysis (unweighted percentage, 161 of 7024 participants [2.3%]) leaving a total sample size of 6863.”
The paper relies on this without support.
The changes in NCHS urbanization classification schemes across 2001-2016 did not affect the comparability of urbanization categories over time.
“Level of urbanization was categorized based on 1990 (for NHANES 2001–2004), 2006 (for NHANES 2005–2012), and 2013 (for NHANES 2013–2016) NCHS classification schemes for counties.”
The paper relies on this without support.
The 99.9% agreement between county of residence and county of examination location observed for 2007-2014 applies to all survey cycles.
“Unweighted agreement between urbanization level categories based on county of residence and county location of examination was 99.9% for NHANES 2007–2014 participants.”

The self-reported race and Hispanic origin and education of household head are accurate enough for the analyses.
“Race and Hispanic origin was reported by participants or proxy respondents (such as parents) and was categorized as non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, non-Hispanic Asian, Hispanic, and other (including multiple races).”
The paper relies on this without support.
The NHANES sample weights adequately adjust for nonresponse and noncoverage.
“Examination sample weights were used in all analyses and adjusted for the differential probabilities of selection, noncoverage, and nonresponse.”

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
Rated minor: it would not touch a result — a value no result rests on, a p-value that stays on the same side of the significance level, or a conflict that is clerical, resolved elsewhere in the paper, or outside its own findings.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-09-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-09-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
