What can be said of the prevalence of obesity in United States and the world? Multiple Choice   Prevalence of obesity among adults in any country is independent of the purchasing power among them.   Obesity is far more prevalent in Europe than in America.   Obesity is several times more prevalent among women with low incomes than among women with high incomes.   Obesity rates are unaffected by the sociocultural factors prevailing in the country.
A positive correlation between increased global TV-viewing time and obesity exists, possibly due to:     Higher calorie intake when watching television while eating due to consumption of larger portion sizes     Exposure to advertisements for high-sugar beverages and calorie-dense snack items during children’s programming     The viewer ignoring feelings of fullness or satiety                 All of the above
