To assess national trends in obesity and severe obesity prevalence stratified by race and Hispanic origin among United States residents between 1999 and 2018.
Analyzed serial cross-sectional data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) collected from 1999–2000 through 2017–2018.
Stratified prevalence estimates for both standard obesity and severe obesity across defined racial and Hispanic origin groups over the 20-year span.
Rates of both overall obesity and severe obesity exhibited substantial upward trajectories across the two-decade surveillance period.
Significant differences in prevalence trends emerged across distinct racial and Hispanic origin groups, showing sustained demographic disparities over time.
