Q.1. Read the passage given below and answer the following question.
Length (in cm)
1. Obesity-linked "adult on-set" diabetes mellitus is for the first time being reported in children
and adolescents in the UK and many other countries. A 1986 landmark study of obesity and
television viewing found a clear association between the number of hours of television a child
watched and the risk of that child becoming obese or over-weight.
2. In 12 to 17-years-olds
, the prevalence of obesity increases by two per cent for every hour of
weekly television time. A more recent study found that, while eight per
cent of children watching
one hour or less of television a day obese, 18 per cent of children watching four or more hours
were obese.
1. Fill in the blanks for a rectangle:
Composite Mathematics - perimeter and Area
Ex. 11. A rectangular courtyard is 3 m 78 cm long and 5 m 25 cm broad. It is desired to paveit
the came size. What is the largest size of the tile that can be used
10
3. The more children watch television, the more they eat. (By comparison, even reading is a
workout
, at least in studies that have been done with obese children, perhaps because it engages
their minds a bit more emphatically. Television viewing prompts children to consume more food
while they consume less energy, an ideal recipe for adiposity.
4. When children dictate family food choices, as is increasingly the case in the US, entire
households are immersed in a miasma of one-dimensional sweet taste that reinforces juvenile
preferences
. Marketing of soft, sweet and salty foods is good business, and children are the most
vulnerable targets.
5. Childhood obesity rates are highest in countries where advertising on children's television
programmes is least regulated-in Australia, the US and England. Sweden and Norway maintain a
virtual ban on advertising to children, and have consistently low levels of childhood obesity.
Ireland, Belgium, Italy and Denmark pose restrictions on children's advertising and are pressing
the other states of the European Union to do the same.
6. The US and other countries can afford to do no less. Public nutrition campaigns should go
beyond vague recommendations to exercise and eat a balanced diet: the link between inactivity,
junk food consumption and obesity should be made explicit. The food industry will lobby against
these efforts, of course, claiming that they constitute legislation of food choices".
