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

Illusion [34]

The correct answer is A; rub a penny on a wart and then throw the penny away to get rid of the wart.

Further Explanation:

There are many people who still use a penny to get rid of a wart on their hand or other part of the body. It is part of the American folk medicine and is an example of continuous magic in America and other parts of the world.

Rubbing a penny on a wart and throwing the penny away will not get rid of the wart. A doctor can remove the wart or use a special type of medicine to help the wart come off on its own.

Folklore medicine is still used by people of ages, races, wealthy people, and people who practice Wiccan.

A few of the American Folk Medicine remedies for warts are;

*burying your mothers dishrag after its stolen from her.

*rub the wart with a raw bean cut in half

*tie a silk string around the wart

*put a toad on the wart
