Healthy Body Composition

Question 2 • PMHS Health Q2

Which of the following is NOT true about childhood obesity?

Answer
A
Children who are obese may find it difficult to maintain a healthy body composition as an adult.
B
Childhood obesity, which affects numerous children in the US, can be influenced by heredity.
C
Childhood obesity can be influenced by lifestyle choices, such as exercise and dietary habits.
D
Obese children find that maintaining a healthy body composition is easier as an adult because their metabolism naturally increases.

Explanation

D is not true. Childhood obesity can continue into adulthood, making it harder—not easier—to maintain a healthy body composition. Metabolism does not naturally increase simply because a child has obesity; heredity and lifestyle factors, including diet and exercise, can influence obesity risk.
