Q4:
Which of the following best explains the public health significance of the “thin-fat syndrome” found among school children?
A: It confirms that malnutrition is no longer a major issue in urban India.
B: It shows that childhood obesity can be prevented by reducing calorie intake alone.
C: It demonstrates that normal weight does not necessarily indicate metabolic health.
D: It supports the elimination of physical education from school curricula to prevent body shaming.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The "thin-fat syndrome" or MONW (Metabolically Obese, Normal Weight) reveals that many children with normal BMI still have poor metabolic indicators, such as low HDL, high triglycerides, or insulin resistance. This debunks the myth that weight alone determines health and highlights the need for more comprehensive health screenings and lifestyle interventions beyond weight-centric models.
Q5:
Read the following statements carefully and choose the correct option: Assertion (A): Survival rates for breast cancer in India are lower than in Western countries.
Reason (R): The majority of patients in India are diagnosed at late stages of the disease.
A: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
B: Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
C: A is true, but R is false
D: A is false, but R is true
Answer: A
Explanation:
The survival rate for breast cancer is significantly lower in India compared to high-income countries. This is primarily due to the fact that over 60% of breast cancer patients in India are diagnosed at Stage 3 or 4, when the disease has already progressed and treatment outcomes are poorer. In contrast, early-stage diagnosis—common in countries like the U.S.—greatly improves survival chances. Therefore, both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. Late diagnosis remains a critical barrier to improving breast cancer outcomes in India, underscoring the need for robust screening and early detection systems.
