Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Today, not all American adults are either overweight or obese. While the percentage of overweight adults has increased over the years, and more than one-third of adults are obese, it is false to say that every single American adult falls into either category. Thus, choice C is false. Choice A and D are true, as the percentage of overweight adults has indeed increased over time and a BMI over 30 is an indicator of obesity.
