EDKP 330- OBESITY TEST
STUDY GUIDE
Obesity has nearly tripled since... - Answer 1975
What is the definition of overweight? - Answer Carrying more fat than is healthy or an
amount that increases disease risk.
What is the definition of obesity? - Answer Unhealthy body weight, which is consistent
with a variety of disease processes such as CVD, metabolic syndrome and type 2
diabetes.
What does body mass index (BMI) take into consideration? - Answer Height and weight
What is considered a normal BMI for someone who is 5'10"? obese? - Answer
18.5kg/m^2-->24.9
>30
What is the BMI range for class 1 obesity? - Answer 30-34.9
What is the BMI range for class 2 obesity? - Answer 35-39.9
What is the BMI range for class 3 obesity? - Answer >40
What is the key limitation of BMI? - Answer -It doesn't take into account lean muscle
mass versus fat mass
-Therefore, a high class athlete can be misclassified as overweight even though they're
in great shape.
What is BMI more useful for? - Answer as a tool in the physiological health assessment
How is the BMI estimated in children and adolescents? - Answer by growth trajectories
based on a standardized population.
knowing: sex, weight, height and age
use a growth chart to estimate the percentile of BMI
What is a caloric deficit? - Answer consuming less calories than you're expending
What should you do to stay healthy long-term? - Answer be physically active and have a
good diet
What is body composition? - Answer relative proportion and distribution of fat, lean
mass, and minerals in the body
, When is lean mass not maintained? - Answer with only changing your diet (need to by
physically active)

Answer 190kcals- 150min/wk
380kcals- 300min/wk
What does the expenditure estimates (PAEE) by duration and intensity of PA for walking
(4mph/6.4km/h)? - Answer 940kcals- 150min/wk
1880kcals- 300min/wk
What does the expenditure estimates (PAEE) by duration and intensity of PA for jogging
(11.3km/h)? - Answer 2155kcals- 150min/wk
4310kcals- 300min/wk
Basal metabolic energy expenditure (BMEE) drops with... - Answer age
therefore making it more challenging to manage weight
What have anthropological studies shown? - Answer humans have been gaining weight
(on average) for centuries (due to largely improved nutrition)
What percentage did the national center for health statistics 2017 report people over
the age of 20 are overweight/obese? - Answer 70.7%
What did the WHO (2018) estimate in 2016? - Answer at least 1.9 billion adults over age
18 are overweight and 650 million throughout the world are obese
What are the trends of increasing obesity primarily due to? - Answer external factors:
changes in the built environment and lifestyle factors
In the US how much has obesity increased in ages 2-5? - Answer 13.9%
In the US what percentage of youth between the ages 2-19 are obese? - Answer 18.5%
In the US how much has obesity increased in ages 6-11? - Answer 18.4%
In the US how much has obesity increased in ages 12-19? - Answer 20.6%
What did the CDC report about non-Hispanic blacks and Hispanics about their
prevalence of obesity compared to whites? - Answer 22% greater prevalence to obesity
25.8% greater prevalence to obesity
If the overweight trend continued by 2030, how many adults would be overweight and
obese? - Answer 86.3%
51.1%
