Question

multiple choice question
very large babies are at increased risk of ______.

○ malnutrition and associated problems
○ stunted growth
○ development of cardiometabolic risk factors
○ arthritic conditions

Explanation:

Very large babies, often due to factors like maternal diabetes or excessive weight - gain during pregnancy, are at a higher risk of developing cardiometabolic risk factors such as insulin resistance, high blood pressure later in life, etc. Malnutrition is not related to large size, stunted growth is the opposite of being large, and there is no strong direct link between large birth - size and arthritic conditions.

Answer:

development of cardiometabolic risk factors
