 b. BMI values may not be applicable to this population since they are derived from studies of older adults.
  c. Their bones may be poorlymineralized, which falsely lowers their weights.
 d. Athletes are typically not overweight based on BMI, so their weight and height measurements may be inaccurate.

Answer to Question 1

The Mediterranean diet incorporates more nuts, fruits, and whole grains than a typical American diet. These foods contribute more fiber, vitamins, and minerals without a lot of calories or saturated fats.
The Mediterranean diet also incorporates far less red meats and more fish (with healthy omega-3 fatty acids) than the typical American diet. This also reduces the amount of saturated fats consumed each day.
