Answer to Question 1

Being a woman, being short, being older, having a low lean body mass (due to being overweight), and rarely exercising all promote a lower basal metabolic rate. Additionally, African-Americans have BMRs that are about 10 percent lower than those of Caucasians. Beginning an exercise program that includes building more muscle mass can help her increase her BMR.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
