Passage 3 below.
A Weighty Issue
A.
According to a report produced by the British Medical Association (BMA), the state of 
adolescent health in the UK is in a poor condition. A key problem is obesity, which is 
thought to be caused by a poor diet with too many high-fat, high-calorie foods, along with 
a lack of exercise. In fact, the report claims that excess body weight is now the most 
common childhood disorder in Europe, and a staggering one in five youngsters aged 13 
to 16 are overweight and nearly one in five 15-year-
olds are obese. ‘The figures are 
worrying as being obese can cause both immediate and future serious health problems. 
These include the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. It's also 
the most important dietary factor in cancer’, said a spokesperson for the British Nutrition 
Foundation (BNF), and can cause complications during and after pregnancy.
B.
Type 2 diabetes used to only affect middle-aged but in recent years have been detected 
in teens as young as 13-years-old for the first time. This, in itself, is believed to be another 
direct factor linked to the rising levels of obesity. And children affected by obesity are 
likely to have a shorter lifespan than their parents. As well as physical illness and disease, 
being obese or overweight can cause a range of psychological problems too. The BMA 
report highlighted that it can significantly affect wellbeing, with many adolescents 
developing a negative self image and experiencing low self- 'esteem'. It can also lead to 
eating diseases, bullying, depression, and feelings of loneliness and nervousness.
C.
Doctors use a measurement system called the body mass index (BMI) to assess whether 
people are a healthy weight, overweight or obese. It's worked out by dividing a person's
