Answer:

  • <u>"Jimmy has an increased risk of high cholesterol and high blood pressure."</u>
  • <u>"Jimmy has an increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes."</u>

<u><em></em></u>

Explanation:

To answer this question, we just need to know the following:

  • <em>What's the average amount of body fat one should have?</em>

According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and WebMD, men aged 20 to 39 should have 8%-19% body fat, and women of the same age group should have 21%-32% body fat. UCSDB ScienceLine states, "Before adolescence average body fat is 18% in both boys and girls. However, after age 13 boys drop 2-3% in body fat and girls gain 8-10% in body fat," (due to puberty). We know that Jimmy is a high school student, and high schoolers are typically 14-18. Thus, he should be nowhere near 33% of body fat to have the adequate amount, nor is he underweight.

With this information, we can rule out, "Jimmy is likely underweight and may be malnourished," and, "Jimmy has a healthy body composition and has adequate fat stores."

  • <em>What increases the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure? Does body fat have to do with it?</em>

According to The Obesity Action Coalition, "Being 'overweight' (BMI of 25-29.9), or affected by obesity (BMI of 30-39.9) or severe obesity (BMI of 40 or greater), <u>greatly increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.</u>"

According to WebMD, "So being overweight or obese can raise your chances of high triglycerides and, in turn, <u>high cholesterol</u>..."

According to Cleveland Clinic, "How are obesity and heart disease related? Obesity affects more than 40% of the U.S. population. The excess fat in obesity was originally thought to be harmless (benign). However, we now know that excess fat causes chemical changes in your blood that <u>increase your heart disease risk.</u>"

According to WebMD, "As your body weight increases, your blood pressure can rise. In fact, being overweight can make you <u>more likely to develop high blood pressure</u> than if you are at your desirable weight."

  • Note: "Body fat percentage distinguishes fat from muscle and calculates the percentage of body fat in the body. While BMI is a rough estimate of body fat, body fat percentage is a more accurate number. BMI, but not overfat" (Goshen Health).

To conclude, the most logical answers would be, "Jimmy has an increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes," and,"Jimmy has an increased risk of high cholesterol and high blood pressure."

Hope that helps! <3
