	WIN - Statistics
		To understand these statistics, it is necessary to know how overweight and obesity are defined and measured, something this publication addresses.
		For age-adjusted rates, statistical procedures are used to remove the effect of age differences when comparing two or more populations at one point in time, or one population at two or more points in time.
		Most of the statistics presented here represent the economic cost of overweight and obesity in the United States in 1995, updated to 2001 dollars.[10] Unless otherwise noted, these statistics are adapted from Wolf and Colditz,[11] who based their data on existing epidemiological studies that defined overweight and obesity as a BMI > 29.

	Statistics - Adoption Encyclopedia
		By determining how many foster children there are in the system, how many wait to be adopted and other crucial pieces of the statistical puzzle, adoption professionals may more expertly help the children they aspire to serve.
		The NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR ADOPTION mounted a serious effort to survey all states and assemble national adoption statistics on a state-by-state basis in 1982 (published in the 1985 Adoption Factbook) and again in 1988 (published in the 1989 Adoption Factbook).
		Another aspect of statistics that should be considered is a combination of statistical and methodological failings in many studies related to adoption.
