Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Congenital anomalies account for 20.1 of deaths in infants younger than 1 year. Sudden infant death syndrome accounts for 8.2 of deaths in this age group. Respiratory distress syndrome accounts for 3.4 of deaths in this age group. Infections specific to the perinatal period account for 2.7 of deaths in this age group.

Childhood obesity has been associated with the rise of type II diabetes in children. Type I diabetes is not associated with obesity and has a genetic component. Respiratory disease is not associated with obesity, and celiac disease is the inability to metabolize gluten in foods and is not associated with obesity.
