Question

An obese, adult male was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Which research evidence best supports this diagnosis? Adults have a higher risk of developing unhealthy outcomes when they are obese. The prevalence of obesity tends to decrease from youth to adulthood. Adult men who are obese are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at a significantly higher rate than adult women who are obese. Adults who continually make poor eating choices have a lower risk of developing chronic diseases.

Answer 1

Adults have a higher risk of developing unhealthy outcomes when they are obese.

Answer 2

Hi there! The prevalence of obesity does not decrease from youth to adulthood and having poor eating choices does not decrease the risk of chronic illness. It increases it. Therefore, B and D are eliminated. Adults do have a higher risk of developing unhealthy habits when they're obese. Men are more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes than women, but this does not fully support why he was diagnosed. If you're obese, regardless of gender, you're at a high rish of diabetes. The answer is A.
