Pregnant adolescents are at high risk for _____ because of lower body mass indices (BMIs) and "fad" dieting
a. Obesity c. Low-birth-weight babies
b. Diabetes d. High-birth-weight babies
ANS: C
Adolescents tend to have lower BMIs because they are still developing and may follow unsafe nutritional practices. In addition, the fetus and still-growing mother appear to compete for nutrients. These factors, along with inadequate weight gain, lend themselves to a higher incidence of low-birth-weight babies. Obesity, diabetes, and high-birth-weight babies are conditions associated with higher BMIs.
