Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement that 17% of U.S. children and teens 2-19 years of age are obese is true according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as of 2018. The other statements are either false or oversimplified. A) While it may be true that children are lighter on average than they were 30 years ago, this statement alone does not imply anything about their overall health status or the prevalence of obesity. B) Genetics may play a role in a child's weight status, but it is not the only factor, and behavior and environment also have significant influence. C) Poor parenting skills may contribute to a child's weight status, but again, it is not the sole cause and other factors such as genetics, environment, and access to healthy food and physical activity also play a role.
