RATED A+
Health risks associated with being overweight and/or obese Answer -
Alzheimer disease, stroke, heart disease, hypertension, fatty liver disease,
gallstones, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, gout, sleep apnea, gastroesophageal
reflux, increased risk of some cancers, infertility in women, miscarriage, birth
defects, erectile dysfunction in men
current state of obesity in the US Answer - 40 % of adults are obese, 70% of
adults are overweight and 18.5% of youth are obese
current state of obesity worldwide Answer - 13% of people are obese; as

Minimum number of calories to meet all the RDAs is 1200kcal/day for women
and 1500kcal/day for men >19 years
what is BMR? Answer - basal metabolic rate; the largest factor in determining
overall metabolic rate and how many calories you need to maintain, lose or
gain weight; the amount of energy expended at basal metabolism of a fixed
period
what is the thermic effect of food? Answer - amount of energy used to digest,
absorb, and metabolize nutrients
what is non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT)? Answer - activities that
are not sleeping or exercise; house chores
what is energy balance? Answer - energy in = energy out, maintenance
what is negative energy balance? Answer - energy in < energy out, weight loss
what is positive energy balance? Answer - energy in > energy out, weight gain
explain how the BMI is used and when it is not used Answer - - Good predictor
of weight status and therefore disease risk; as BMI increases, risk for chronic
disease increases
- Not accurate for individual that have high muscle mass compared to height
(body builders)
- BMI cannot determine body composition, it is a predictor of weight status
