-Describe at least five chronic health issues that are considered comorbid conditions of adolescent obesity, does obesity raise the risk for these conditions. Five chronic health issues that are comorbid conditions of diabetes are hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin resistant, type 2 diabetes mellitus, sleep apnea.

-List at least four supplements that are commonly used by adolescents. Vitamin C, calcium, vitamin E and B are all supplements commonly used by adolescents. These help with treating iron deficiency, increasing energy, building muscle and weight loss.
-Determine the unique energy, protein and micronutrient needs of competitive adolescent athletes who have not yet completed growth and development.

However the specific amount varies between each individual athlete and the sport they’re participating in. Look at the table on pg. 392 for more information on this.
