Why is obesity prevention not complete by only checking body weight?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because diet, activity, sleep, behaviour, and body-fat distribution also need assessment
Body weight is a useful indicator, but it does not describe body composition or the behaviours causing health risk. People with the same weight may have different muscle, abdominal fat, diets, activity levels, sleep patterns, and metabolic risks. Effective prevention therefore combines weight with waist or fat distribution, lifestyle assessment, and appropriate clinical checks.
