Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The rapid increase in obesity over the past 30 to 40 years is likely due to changes in the environment or environmental contexts. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Genetic makeup: The genetic makeup of a population does not change significantly over such a short period (30 to 40 years). Therefore, it is unlikely that the increase in obesity is due to genetic changes. ‖‖ b ⋮ Environment or environmental contexts: Changes in lifestyle, diet, physical activity, and other environmental factors are more plausible explanations for the rapid increase in obesity. ‖‖ c ⋮ Exosystems of families only: While family environments can influence obesity, focusing solely on exosystems of families does not account for broader societal changes. ‖‖ d ⋮ Microsystems of children only: Similarly, focusing only on the microsystems of children does not provide a comprehensive explanation for the widespread increase in obesity. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Environmental factors ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The rapid increase in obesity is more likely due to changes in environmental factors such as diet, physical activity, and lifestyle, rather than genetic changes or limited family and child-specific contexts. ⚹◊How might changes in the genetic makeup of Americans contribute to the increase in obesity over the past few⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
