The work of public health professionals is important because public health initiatives affect people every day in every part of the world. It addresses broad issues that can affect the health and well-being of individuals, families, communities, populations, and societies—both now, and for generations to come.
Explanation:
I will ask the parents why don't they want their son to know about his illness. If the parents are concerned about how he'll react or even his after-math (although he is already sick). If it about his maturity, before you tell him
you should consult with my hospital's ethic/legal counsel before you do, just to decrease personal liability.
Does it make sense?
Fat is a quite simple component to measure. Increased or
above normal/ average body fat has been proven to be linked with many health
risks.<span>
<span>Body weight is not always an accurate indication
of body composition. If you were to equate an NFL running back who is 5'
10" and weighs 200 lbs, to a 5'10" 200 lbs. banker, there body
composition would be VERY unalike although there weight is exactly the same. Of
course the football player is healthier, because he is perhaps carrying one
third of the body fat as the banker of the same weight. Maintaining that muscle
mass would also infer healthy habits like nutrition and exercise.</span></span>
