an increased risk of health problems occurs with both too high of a BMI as well as too low of a BMI. What is a potential health problem someone may encounter if their BMI is too high? Is it possible for someone to have a high BMI (e.g., obese class I) and not be at risk of health issues? You must find a scientific journal article (either regarding the potential health problems with a high BMI or supporting the potential inaccurate of using BMI to predict health issues) and reference it properly to support your answer.

Find the articles by using one or more of the following:

Discuss some of the reasons for the increase in...

1.Getting sunburned is dangerous as well as painful. Too much exposure to high energy electromagnetic (EM) radiation can lead to cellular DNA damage causing an increased risk for cancer. You know that DNA damage occurs if the energy of the incident, EM radiation, is above a certain threshold.
