Question

which of the following describes a person who is obese? *

○ a person who has excess muscle tissue

○ a person with a large amount of body fat

○ a person who weighs less than what is appropriate for his or her weight

○ a person who weighs more than what is appropriate for his or her height

Explanation:

Obesity is defined by an abnormal or excessive accumulation of body fat that impairs health. Excess muscle is not obesity, low weight is underweight, and weighing more than appropriate for height can include muscle mass (like in athletes), so the precise definition centers on excess body fat.

Answer:

a person with a large amount of body fat
