The percentage in the total population and by municipality for each condition according to the classification in relation to the variables is shown. Nutritional diagnosis was done by anthropometry according to BMI (normal <25, overweight >25<30, and obesity >30). Vitamin D status was considered according to the serum values of 25-OH-D (deficient <20 ng/mL, insufficient 21–29 ng/mL, and sufficient >30 ng/mL).
