Table 1shows the prevalence of overweight from birth through 23 months and from 6 through 23 months of age for selected years. HANES 1976-1980 included individuals only as young as 6 months of age while NHANES 1988-1994 included individuals 2months of age and older. Beginning in 1999-2000, NHANES included individuals from birth.
