Abstract
We characterized the prevalence of obesity among Florida children 2-19years old using electronic health records (EHRs). The obesity prevalence for 331,641 children was 16.9%. Obesity prevalence at 6-11years (19.5%) and 12-19years (18.9%) were approximately double the prevalence of obesity among children 2-5years (9.9%). The highest prevalence of severe obesity occurred in rural Florida (21.7%) and non-Hispanic children with multiple races had the highest obesity prevalence (21.1%) across all racial/ethnic groups. Our results highlight EHR as a low-cost alternative to estimate the prevalence of obesity and severe obesity in Florida children, both overall and within subpopulations.Entities:
