Which of the following patients would you expect to be at risk for decreased activity? Select all that apply.

A) Older adult who walks at the mall for physical activity
B) Someone living in a skilled nursing facility
C) Healthy adult who works as a computer programmer
D) Obese child who enjoys video games

The person who lives in a skilled nursing facility might be sedentary because of advancing age and other age-associated medical problems that lead to inactivity.With obesity,movement becomes more difficult and strain on joints increases.A sedentary lifestyle,whether adult or child,contributes to obesity; activities,such as computer work and video games,are sedentary and require little physical activity.Physical activity doesn't have to be a structured fitness class but can also be walking,even walking in a mall or neighborhood,as long as the intensity is moderately vigorous.
