Question 17 • TX-Lifetime Fitness and Wellness Pursuits B

Which of the following statements is NOT true about body composition?

Answer
A
Too much body fat can lead to joint or bone disorders.
B
Body composition is influenced by numerous factors.
C
Body composition refers to a person's overall weight.
D
Lean body mass is the nonfat component of body composition.

Explanation

Body composition describes the proportions of fat mass and lean mass in a person’s body, not the person’s overall weight. Overall weight is a measurement of how much someone weighs, so choice C, “Body composition refers to a person's overall weight,” is not true. The other statements accurately describe body composition.
