    Ups in Illinois, United States. Data were collected between 1984 and 2006 for all adults 20–75 years of age, as part of the Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System (BRFSS). ● Black Males, ▲ White Males, ■ Black Females, ◆ White Females. Estimated rate of weight change (standard errors) among these groups are: 0.47(0.05), 0.38 (0.01), 0.60(0.04), and 0.37 (0.02) for Black Males, White Males, Black Females and White Females, respectively.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Rapid increases in obesity in Jamaica, compared to Nigeria and the United States"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2458/8/133</p><p>BMC Public Health 2008;8():133-133.</p><p>Published online 23 Apr 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2390537.</p><p></p
