Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
In urban areas, 27.4 of adults are overweight or obese; in rural areas, the number is 23.9. In urban areas, 22 of adults smoke; in rural areas, the number is 25. In urban areas, 10 of adolescents had 5 or more drinks in one episode; in rural areas, the number is 15. Total tooth loss among adults aged 65 years and older is 28 in urban areas and 36 in rural areas.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Perhaps the most telling demographic marker as a determinant of health and health behavior is those counties that have been designated as experiencing persistent poverty. These counties have been found to have 20 or more of the population living below the federal poverty level for three successive census periods (30 years). Whether the issue is delivering health services, engaging in health education and health promotion, or the use/availability of prenatal care, dental care, or mental health care, life in these areas is qualitatively different from that in other parts of the country.
