What relation may exist between positive energy balance and overnutrition?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Long-term positive balance can increase weight
Positive energy balance occurs when energy intake is greater than energy expenditure over time. The excess is stored mainly as body tissue, including fat, and persistent excess can lead to weight gain and overnutrition. The outcome is influenced by diet composition, activity and health, so the word “can” is important rather than “always.”
