Question

which factors relate body composition to a healthy weight? select three options. age height gender birth order bone length

Explanation:

• Age: Metabolism and muscle - fat ratio change with age. Younger people may have a higher metabolism and more muscle mass.
• Height: Taller people generally have a higher healthy weight range compared to shorter people as they have more body surface area and potentially more muscle and bone.
• Gender: Males typically have more muscle mass (higher basal metabolic rate) and less body fat percentage compared to females on average.
• Bone length: Related to height (since height is partly determined by bone length). Longer bones (in taller individuals) contribute to a different healthy weight range.
• Birth order: Has no direct physiological relation to body composition and healthy weight.

Answer:

age, height, gender
