They say above that they only had data for 🇳🇪🇳🇪.
I'd like to see the breakdown on this by race, sex, and age.

I have noticed this.
When I was in college in the early 70’s it was uncommon to see a chubby girl, and rare to see a fat one.
Now chubby is the norm and tons of girls are fat.

another example of how word definitions have changed....in the 70's, we had skinny, normal, chubby, fat, and extremely fat, ...new definitions would be anorexic, skinny, healthy, curvy, plus size.

I bet I could get in a fist fight with the whole lot over at "Ellison-Barnes and colleagues " just by saying the Corona virus is a hoax, and the Doctors on Tucker Carlson is speaking the truth.

To be honest most of the people I knew 10 years ago when you guys were reposting the "fat fuck American" propaganda. Lots of them have since slimmed down.
You guys are all easy to distract and the fat 10% or less, the majority.
I said and rightly so. That the end game with the get fatty psyop campaign is to create food insecurity, while convincing the 90% a $20 chicken is for our own damn good.

The data also revealed that adults’ BMI rose more than 4 kg/m2 during the same period.
From 1976 to 2018, the prevalence of obesity among emerging adults increased from 6.2% to 32.7% and the number of emerging adults whose weight would put them in the “normal” BMI category dropped from 68.7% to 37.5%. Reference: Ellison-Barnes A, et al. JAMA. 2021;326(20):2073-2074.
Most obesity analyses have not specifically analyzed prevalence among those aged 18 to 25 years, thus reducing “opportunities for developmentally informed intervention and treatment,” Alejandra Ellison-Barnes, MD, MPH, an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and colleagues wrote in JAMA.
To fill this data gap, the researchers examined data on 8,015 nonpregnant adults who completed an NHANES from 1976 to 2018. The analysis included 3,965 women; 2,386 individuals who met the threshold for household poverty and 3,037 non-Hispanic Black individuals.
“Given the changes in how the NHANES assessed race and ethnicity over time, we were limited to the aforementioned groups,” Ellison-Barnes and colleagues wrote.
The researchers reported that the prevalence of obesity among emerging adults increased from 6.2% (95% CI, 4.9-7.9) in 1976 to 1980 to 32.7% (95% CI, 24.7-41.8, P for trend = .007) in 2017 to 2018. During the same timeframe, the number of emerging adults whose weight would put them in the “normal” BMI category dropped from 68.7% (95% CI, 66.3-70.9) to 37.5% (95% CI, 29.5-46.4; P for trend = .005), whereas the mean BMI increased from 23.1 kg/m2 (95% CI, 22.9-23.4) to 27.7 kg/m2 (95% CI, 26.2-29.1; P for trend = .006).
Sensitivity analyses that were restricted to the continuous NHANES cycles (1999-2018) yielded similar results, according to Ellison-Barnes and colleagues.
“Emerging adulthood may be a key period for preventing and treating obesity given that habits formed during this period often persist through the remainder of the life course,” Ellison-Barnes and colleagues wrote. “There is an urgent need for research on risk factors contributing to obesity during this developmental stage to inform the design of interventions as well as policies aimed at prevention.”
