Seth is 18 years old, weighs 250 pounds, and is 72 inches tall. use the formula and chart below to evaluate his weight, and then answer the question.

bmi = weight (in pounds) ÷ [height (in inches)]² x 703

bmi categories, general:
underweight: less than 18.5
normal weight: 18.5-24.9
overweight: 25-29.9
obese: 30 or greater

what does his bmi indicate about seth's health?

a. he has a slight risk of weight-related diseases.

b. he is at risk of malnutrition.

c. he has a high risk of diabetes and kidney disease.

The right answer is C.

Obesity is a real disease of the 21st century. According to WHO, 1.4 billion people in the world, all ages combined, are overweight. Spread in all parts of the globe, it causes in its wake many disabling pathologies. Diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease (which is strongly related to kidneys), and even osteoporosis can be the result of obesity.

the relative atomic mass of an element is the mass of one atom of that element, relative to 1/12th of the mass of a  1212c atom. to convert to an absolute mass in kg, it is necessary to multiply by  1.661×10−271.661×10−27.

the relative atomic mass is roughly equal to the number of neutrons, plus the number of protons, in the nucleus of the atom.

for elements with more than one stable isotope (different types of nucleus with different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons), the quoted mass is usually the average mass, weighted by the relative abundance of the different isotopes.

do yall know the answer?
