Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leo is at the greatest risk for overweight because he is exposed to the highest amount of TV and Internet ads in his bedroom each day, which can lead to increased consumption of unhealthy foods and sedentary behavior. Cecilia and Travis have lower levels of screen time and are less likely to be affected by ads, while Marcella's screen time is similar to Leo's but she does not have the added risk of Internet ads.
