Ans: A
Feedback:
Adolescence is a time of critical growth and acquisition of lifelong eating habits, and, therefore, nutritional assessment, analysis, and intervention are critical. Peer pressure does not influence growth. Cultural influences tend to become less important during the teen years; they do not emerge for the first time at this age. BMI can be assessed at any age.
