false

(T/F) The shape and size of your body is due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors working in unison.

False

Girth measurement is valid for very active, thin, and obese individuals.

false

Girth measurement is valid for very active, thin, and obese individuals.

True

Mortality rate is higher for obese people and for underweight people.

False
