Summary
Self-reported data from dependent children of Army Service members were used to examine the association between Body Mass Index (BMI), the odds of being overweight or obese, dietary outcomes, and state competitive food and beverages (CF&B) policies. Having any policy (i.e., weak or strong) was associated with lower BMI, odds of being overweight or obese, and better dietary choices for children of Army Service members compared to having no policy.
