C) Cardiometabolic disorders
D) Chronic anemia
Ans: C
Feedback:
Upper body obesity, more than other types of obesity, carries a high cardiometabolic risk. Obese people tend to develop joint problems and arthritis, but there is no direct association with osteoporosis. Chronic anemia is associated with malnutrition and starvation. Primary renal disease is unrelated to excessive weight.
