File name | The Burden of Obesity Among a National Probability Sample of Veterans |
File Description | We analyzed data from the 2003 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), a cross-sectional telephone survey of the civilian, non institutionalized adult population over the age of 18 years. This federally funded survey is conducted annually by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC). Data collected from the BRFSS questions related to socio-demographic information, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia have good reproducibility and validity.14 The reliability and validity of BRFSS data on smoking status are high, although the prevalence of current smoking is slightly less than estimates obtained from biochemical measures. |
