Question

Which of the following identifies how obesity is determined?

o comparison of weight with recommendations by age
calculation using weight and age
calculation using weight and height
o comparison of weight with national averages

Answer 1

The answer is the second option!

Step-by-step explanation:

Obesity cannot be determined by "recommendations by age," since it is only a series of facts that is provided by a professional medical worker. It also cannot be determined by "height" because that is not one of the characteristics of the subject itself. And also, it is not determined by "national averages," without having to provide an explanation.

Answer 2

Answer: calculation using weight and height

Explanation: Obesity is determined according to one’s BMI, or body mass index, which is a calculation of weight and height. People with body mass indexes of 30 percent or higher are considered obese.
