A 30 year old female ate at a restaurant and later found out that a worker at the place tested
positive for Hep A. She is worried and comes to you for help. What should she do?

All of the following statements about obesity are true except:
A: One third of all adults in the U. S. are classified as obese
B: Metabolic syndrome includes waist >40 inches for a man
C: Obesity is associated with lower all-cause mortality
D: Prevention of being obese includes increasing physical activity and dietary modification.
C- Per Papadakis and McPhee,
Obesity impacts 1/3 of the U.S. population.
Metabolic syndrome consists of waist circumference of greater than or equal to 40(men) or
35(women) inches, triglyceride levels of 150mg/dL, HDL less than 40(men) or 50(women)
mg/dL, BP of 130/85mmHg or greater, and fasting blood glucose of 100mg/dL or greater.
Obesity is associated with a higher all-cause mortality. Persons whose BMI is 40 or greater have
a 52% (men) or 62% (women) death rate from cancer than compared to men and women
of normal weight (BMI under 25).
To prevent being overweight or obese, increasing physical activity and decreasing caloric intake
is the best way to prevent weight gain.
