Question

I need an answer based on figure 4A and 4B 

 

 

The body mass index calculation for figure 4A shows the Inuit children to ___________, while the calculation for 4B shows the Inuit children to _____.

   

weigh less than US whites; be equal to US whites

   

be equal to US whites; weigh more than US whites

   

weigh less than US whites; weigh more than US whites

   

weigh more than US whites; be equal to US whites

 

### Figure 4: Comparative Analysis of Body Mass Indices

This figure illustrates two body mass indices applied to 9-year-old Inupiat and U.S. white children. The horizontal lines in both graphs represent the medians for U.S. white children.

#### Graph A: Traditional Body Mass Index (BMI)
- **Y-axis:** Body Mass/Stature²
- **X-axis Categories:** Inupiat, U.S. White
- **Data Representation:** Scatter plots with individual data points for each group.
- **Observations:** The Inupiat children generally have higher BMI values compared to U.S. white children. The median line indicates that the median BMI for U.S. white children is lower than the BMI of most Inupiat children.

#### Graph B: Trunk Frame Index (TFI)
- **Y-axis:** Body Mass/(Sitting Height - BiIiac Breadth)
- **X-axis Categories:** Inupiat, U.S. White
- **Data Representation:** Scatter plots with individual data points for each group.
- **Observations:** Similar to graph A, the Inupiat children tend to have higher TFI values than U.S. white children. The median line for U.S. white children is lower than most of the TFI values for Inupiat children.

The data indicates variations in body mass distribution between the two groups, which may reflect genetic, environmental, or cultural influences. Further analysis can help to understand the underlying causes of these differences.

(Note: See accompanying text for more details on sample derivation and methodology.)
