Description
The percentage of adult New Yorkers who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or greater and is calculated based on respondents' self-reported weight and height, as noted in the NYC Community Health Survey. This data is reported by calendar year, not fiscal year. The MMR reports data from the previous calendar year (i.e. FY24 = CY23). Because of this, MMR data through June FY24 accounts for CY23 data through December.
