Suppose an article is published using the above pie chart to support the statement:"Approximately 20% of Canadians aged 20-34 years old are overweight or obese."Why might this interpretation be inaccurate?

A. The author is misinterpreting the data by applying the percentage to the total age group population as opposed to the total obese/overweight population.
B. The author has mistakenly provided the values for the 18 to 19 year old age range.
C. The author is misinterpreting the data by substituting absolute numbers for relative numbers.
D. The author is misinterpreting the data because the ranges for the age categories are not standardized.

Which of the following statements is the most reasonable explanation as to why 18-19 year old Canadians make up a small proportion of the overweight/obese population compared to other age categories?

A. The 18-19 years olds were more likely to underestimate their weight and overestimate their height resulting in lower BMI values.
B. 18-19 year old Canadians are more active therefore they are unlikely to fall within the overweight/obese BMI categories.
C. This age category represents a range of two years as opposed to all the other categories which are a range of at least ten years.

Given only the pie chart, it is impossible to determine the absolute number of Canadians aged 65 years and older that reported a BMI in the overweight or obese range.
