Figure.
Overall trends in overweight, obesity, and extreme obesity prevalence among Mississippi adults, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 2001–2010 and 2011–2015. Beginning in 2011, BRFSS data included landline and cellular telephone panels, and a new weighting method was implemented to improve accuracy (11). Survey analysts recommend not tracking trends across 2011 because of these changes.
