Answer to Question 1

A
This woman's waist-to-hip ratio is 34  40 = 0.85 . A healthy waist-to-hip ratio for women is less than 0.8 . Therefore, this woman's waist-to-hip ratio is considered to be associated with a high risk of chronic disease.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale: An increased waist circumference along with an increased BMI increases risk of death from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and kidney disease compared with those who have a distribution of excess adipose that is not as centralized in the abdominal area. Increasing physical activity in addition to portion control can help to maintain optimal health as the client ages. There is now strong evidence that dietary fiber plays a role in preventing and controlling cardiovascular disease.
