A common secondary condition for individuals with visual impairments is?

Inability to memorize lists of words
Obesity
Impaired concentration skills
High cholesterol

The correct answer is: Obesity

Individuals with visual impairments can often experience challenges that may lead to a sedentary lifestyle, which increases the risk of obesity. The limitations in mobility and access to physical activities, alongside potential social isolation, can contribute to a lack of exercise and poor dietary choices. This sedentary behavior can result in a higher likelihood of developing obesity as a secondary condition. While the other options may relate to difficulties faced by individuals with visual impairments, they do not have the same prevalence as obesity. Inability to memorize lists of words or impaired concentration skills can be associated with various cognitive conditions but are not typically classified as secondary conditions specifically due to visual impairments. High cholesterol may arise from an unhealthy lifestyle but is not directly linked as a common secondary consequence of visual impairment in the same way obesity is.
