Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Creeping obesity refers to a gradual increase in body weight or fat over time, and is commonly associated with decreased physical activity and exercise with age. Option A is partially correct, as caloric intake can also contribute to weight gain, but it is not specific to "creeping obesity." Option B is incorrect, as metabolic rate typically decreases with age, making it more difficult to maintain a healthy weight. Option D is also incorrect since glandular problems after age 30 are not the primary cause of creeping obesity.
