Answer to Question 1

Overweight and obesity can lead to early maturation in children. Early maturation is associated with increased fatness in adulthood and an increase in abdominal fat. Overweight children tend to be taller and to have advanced bone ages.

Answer to Question 2

The purpose of program evaluation is to gather information for making decisions about redistributing resources, changing program delivery, or continuing a program. It takes the guesswork out of planning and implementing programs. Ultimately, the purpose of program evaluation is to enhance the quality of the program.
