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

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Hi

Anthropometric measures are generally used to construct indicators of risk or nutritional damage. The most commonly used are weight, height, brachial perimeter, even when others can be incorporated (head circumference, skin folds, etc.). The measurements are interpreted according to age or related to each other: weight for height (P-T), weight for age (P-E) and height for age (T-E). These parameters can be used separately or together while the combination of indicators will allow a more real approach to the nutritional situation. These anthropometric indicators have been widely used in the nutritional assessment of populations and communities.

Another nutritional status indicator is the clinical examination, a practical method based on the detection of certain changes that are supposed to be related to inadequate nutrition and that can be seen in external epithelial tissues, such as skin, eyes, hair and the oral mucosa or in organs close to the surface of the body, such as parotids, thyroid or testicles. These signs often appear late and are not specific to the lack of a nutrient, although they are usually useful, as they allow to warn about the possible existence of various deficiencies, therefore, it is recommended that these findings be accompanied by laboratory tests relevant. It is important to emphasize that nutritional deficiencies are recognized more by biochemical tests than by clinical evaluations.

One could say that nutritional status is closely associated with the socioeconomic environment in which populations and individuals function. This environmental complexity of the territory occupied by individuals enables the recognition of homogeneous spaces inhabited by similar social groups, in which urban equipment and the provision of services, establish the particular conditions that determine the quality of life of the settled population. As urbanization progresses, heterogeneities arise in the areas that make up the city as well as situations of inequality among its individuals, which are masked but can be elucidated from social, nutritional and health indicators. An example of this is that the indicators show that the infant mortality rate is more related to the lack of access to drinking water and to the excrement system than to the number of families below the poverty line or the availability of health services .
