Total @entity165 (TC) directly correlates with overweight/ @entity28 , but it remains unclear if this association varies by race and ethnicity. We assessed the association as well as the racial/ethnic heterogeneity in this relationship. Data on 63,863 @entity1 were assessed using electronic medical records between 2010 and 2011. A cross-sectional design was utilized with log-binomial regression model and chi-squared statistic to examine the data. Overall, abnormal total @entity165 (ATC) was 7.5% (4812). Significant racial variability in ATC was observed: Black/African American (AA) (7.4%), White (7.0%), Asian (5.1%) and some other race (SOR) @entity1 (11.3%),      (5) = 141.5, p < 0.0001. Black/AA (34.7%) and SOR @entity1 (41.2%) were predominantly overweight/ @entity28 , unlike the Asian @entity1 , (25.8%),      (5) = 324.6, p < 0.0001. The BMI percentile was highest among SOR (69.0    28.6) and Black/AA @entity1 (65.2    29.1), but lowest among Asian @entity1 (55.7    31.5). A significant racial variability was also observed in weight, with the highest mean among Black/AA @entity1 (36.8kg    23.0) and the lowest among Asian @entity1 (28.7kg    16.8), f = 7.2, p < 0.001. Relative to normal TC, @entity1 with ATC were 2.6 times as likely to have abnormal BMI, relative risk (RR) =2.60, 99% CI, 2.54-2.68). Compared to non-Hispanic (RR = 2.62, 99% CI, 2.54-2.69), the risk was lower among Hispanics (RR = 2.34, 99%, 2.21-2.48). Among @entity1 with ATC, risk for abnormal BMI was highest among Asians, adjusted RR = 2.91, 99% CI, 2.34-3.62), intermediate among AA ( @entity17977 .68, 99% CI, 2.59-2.77), but lowest among Whites ( @entity17977 .40, 99% CI, 2.39-2.64), and SOR ( @entity17977 .33, 99% CI, 2.19-2.50). In a large sample of @entity1 , total @entity165 directly correlates with BMI, with an observed racial and ethnic heterogeneity.
