VIII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Currently, overweight and obesity represent a public health problem that affects populations of all
cultures, socioeconomic classes, and ages, including children. Obesity has been considered to result from
lifestyle changes, especially in food consumption, physical activity and sedentary tendencies, because the
environment has grown more obesogenic in recent decades. Regarding food habits, there have been the
following two opposing tendencies: 1) an increasing consumption of high-caloric industrialized foods and
beverages; for instance, Mexican school children obtain approximately 20.7% of their energy from sweetened
beverages, and 2) a decreasing consumption of natural and healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes
and whole grains, which is a habit considered to be a risk factor for obesity.
Additionally, Western societies, including children, display an increased tendency toward sedentary
lifestyles, including resting, watching TV, traveling by car to and from school and performing less physical
activity. Physical activity has an important role in maintaining a healthy nutritional status, while sedentary
lifestyles are a risk factor for obesity and its comorbidities.
According to the Mexican National Nutrition Surveys, the combined prevalence of overweight and obesity
in schoolchildren increased from 26.9% in 1999 to 34.8% in 2006. Although the 2012 survey indicates that the
prevalence of overweight and obesity has not increased over the past 6 years (34.4%), the percentage is one of
the highest among school-age children (5-11 years) in Latin America. The recent increase in the problem is
likely associated with changes in the lifestyles of families. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to 1)
characterize the dietary habits, exercise, and sedentary lifestyles of school children in Mexico City according to
eutrophic or obese nutritional status and 2) identify which habits regarding modified foods or exercise styles
lead children who live in an obesogenic environment to develop overweight or obesity.
28. The passage mainly discusses _______.
A. causes of overweight and obesity
B. causes and impacts of overweight and obesity
C. solutions of overweight and obesity
D. overweight and obesity related diseases
29. It is stated in paragraph 1 that overweight and obesity is mainly caused by _______.
A. physical activity and sedentary tendencies
B. an increasing consumption of high-caloric foods
C. changes in people's lifestyles
D. a low consumption of healthy foods
30. The word "which" in the passage refers to _______.
A. food habits
B. increasing consumption of high-caloric industrialized foods and beverages
C. a decreasing consumption of natural and healthy foods
D. obtaining energy from sweetened beverages
31. The word "display" in the passage is closest in meaning to _______.
A. describe B. show C. argue D. represent
