<em>The answer is</em> <em>nearly 172 million people</em>.


National Center for Health Statistics reported in 2005 that the American Adult Population had a proportion of:

  • 32,7% Overweight (BMI > 25),
  • 34,3% Obese (30<BMI<40)
  • 5,9% Extremely obese (BMI>40)

BMI = Body Mass Index

If we add all of them we obtain 72,9%

The total population in 2005 in USA was 295.500.000 people

The percentage of adult people (>15 years old) was 80%.

If we multiply:    0,729 x 0,80 x 295.500.000 people

we obtain a resulting value of  172.335.600 people.

Passive touch is to experiencing _____ as active touch is to experiencing _____ .
Allisa [31]

Passive touch is to experiencing <u>stimulation of the skin</u> as active touch is to experiencing <u>the object.</u>

<u></u>

<h3>What is the difference between active and passive touch?</h3>

There is stronger activation during active touch than passive touch in the adjacent basal touch region but no effect of stimulus roughness. In contrast, the parietal operculum  (OP) was significantly affected by the roughness of the stimulus  but not by the probing procedure.

Active touch also stimulated greater and more distributed brain activity than passive induction in areas outside the sensory brain region, possibly due to the motor component of the task. Our results suggest that different cortical regions may be involved in exploratory and surface texture processing, with exploratory procedures affecting activation in the primary somatosensory cortex and The excitatory properties affect relatively higher cortical regions in the sonosensory system.

Which one of these is not a potential reason the Chinese teenagers have lower self-esteem than earlier cohorts depression rates
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

depression rates have increased among Chinese

Explanation:

Depression is a disease that has been developing strongly in Asian countries, among which, China shows one of the highest rates of people infected with this disease. This is totally related to the fact that low self-esteem is developing influentially in China, especially among teenagers, especially among boys.

Low self-esteem causes emotional imbalance and it is developed by fear and uncertainty of the future and by the pressure that society and often the family imposes. This causes young people to experience intense depressive moments, making self-esteem a worrying phenomenon in China.
