Description
WTLOS reports if the person has been trying to lose weight or to control his or her weight during the past 12 months. Please see Comparability and Universe tabs for information on changes to the universe between samples.
In 1989, this variable was included in the Diabetes supplement. Respondents were sample persons ages 18 and older who did not have diabetes. A complementary variable is available for all adults who have confirmed diabetes (DIAWTLOS).
