  1. 1BMI (Body Mass Index) is measured by dividing [blank_start]mass (kg)[blank_end] by [blank_start]height (m) squared[blank_end].
    BMI isn't always accurate, especially with people who have [blank_start]heavy muscle but little fat[blank_end].
    1. Aheight (m)
    2. Bmass (kg)
    3. Cheight (m) squared
    4. Dwaist circumference
    5. Ehip circumference
    6. Fheight (m)
    7. Gmass (kg)
    8. Hheight (m) squared
    9. Iwaist circumference
    10. Jhip circumference
    11. Kheavy muscle but little fat
    12. Llots of fat but little muscle
    13. Mlittle fat or muscle
    14. Nlots of fat and muscle
  2. 2Alcohol contains [blank_start]ethanol[blank_end]. This is broken down by enzymes in the [blank_start]liver[blank_end].
    Toxic byproducts are formed in this digestion.
    Liver Cirrhosis is caused by [blank_start]hydrogen peroxide[blank_end]: one of these byproducts, which damages liver cells.
    1. Aliver
    2. Bethanol
    3. Chydrogen peroxide
  3. 3Cigarettes contain [blank_start]nicotine[blank_end]. This quickens the heart rate and as a result, [blank_start]blood pressure[blank_end] rises.
    Arteries are therefore damaged, causing a substance called [blank_start]plaque[blank_end] to build up and clog the arteries.
    1. Aplaque
    2. Bblood pressure
    3. Cnicotine
  4. 4When [blank_start]plaque[blank_end] builds up in an [blank_start]artery[blank_end], an [blank_start]atheroma[blank_end] or fatty deposit forms. This can lead to [blank_start]atherosclerosis[blank_end], a disease where the artery is severely narrowed.
    1. Aatheroma
    2. Bplaque
    3. Cartery
    4. Datherosclerosis
  5. 5Waist to Hip ratio aims to measure abdominal fat by dividing the [blank_start]Waist Circumference[blank_end] by the [blank_start]Hip Circumference[blank_end].
    For men, a ratio of [blank_start]1[blank_end] or more means the person is overweight. For women this is [blank_start]0.8[blank_end] or more.
    1. AHeight (m)
    2. BMass (kg)
    3. CHeight (m) squared
    4. DWaist Circumference
    5. EHip Circumference
    6. FHeight (m)
    7. GMass (kg)
    8. HHeight (m) squared
    9. IWaist Circumference
    10. JHip Circumference
    11. K1
    12. L0.8
    13. M0.5
    14. N1
    15. O0.8
    16. P0.5
  6. 6BMI is a good predictor for a weight lifter with large muscles.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  7. 7LDL Cholesterol, or Low-Density [blank_start]Lipoprotein[blank_end] Cholesterol is able to irritate arteries and cause plaque build-ups. When the plaque is removed, a type of blood cell fragment known as a [blank_start]platelet[blank_end] blocks up the irritation, causing a blood clot.
    1. ALipoprotein
    2. Bplatelet
  8. 8Ionizing radiation is one risk factor of obesity.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  9. 9Smoking is also harmful due to [blank_start]second hand smoke[blank_end]. This additional risk factor is often [blank_start]unavoidable[blank_end], and commonly leads to disease in [blank_start]children of smoking parents[blank_end].
    1. Aanimals
    2. Bchildren of smoking parents
    3. Cthe elderly
    4. Dthose without adequate food security
    5. Eradiation
    6. FUV rays
    7. Gsecond hand smoke
    8. Hgenetics
    9. Iunavoidable
    10. Jlifestyle-based
    11. Kgenetic
