It can't be all of them
Apologies for the confusion. The factors that play a role in determining a person's weight are:
- Heredity: Genetics and family history can influence an individual's predisposition to certain body types and weight gain tendencies.
- Activity level: The amount of physical activity and exercise one engages in can impact weight by burning calories and increasing metabolism.
- Body mass index (BMI): BMI is a measurement that considers both height and weight to determine if an individual falls into the underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese category.
- Body composition: This refers to the proportion of muscle, fat, water, and other tissues in the body. Different body compositions can affect weight and overall health.
