Let's examine each statement: Statement 1: Tracking health data may not always lead to better health outcomes.
Correct – The passage explicitly says that "constant self-monitoring may lead to increased anxiety... potentially reducing overall well-being instead of improving it." So, it clearly suggests that tracking doesn't always help. Can be inferred. Statement 2: The popularity of fitness apps is due to the growing interest in self-monitoring and health improvement.
Not directly stated. While the passage does mention that many people are now tracking their steps, heart rate, and sleep, and that the apps claim to promote healthier lifestyles, it does not explicitly link the popularity to self-monitoring interest. This is plausible, but cannot be definitively inferred. Statement 3: Using fitness apps can lead to increased anxiety in some users.
Correct – The passage mentions some studies suggest that constant self-monitoring may lead to increased anxiety. This clearly supports the statement. Can be inferred.
