Question

Consider how the following behaviors, characteristics, or facts affect the risk for CVD. Determine whether each increases, decreases, or has no effect on the risk for CVD.

a. Having elevated LDL cholesterol levels
b. having reduced HDL cholesterol levels
c. being a premenopausal woman
d. being exposed to secondhand smoke
e. participating in exercise
f. having elevated HDL cholesterol levels.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Having elevated LDL cholesterol levels - this increases the risk for CVD as it also brings about CHD

Having reduced HDL cholesterol levels- this increases the risk of CVD as a low HDL increases omes risk of CVD at lower rates

Being a premenopausal woman - I dont think this has any effect on the risk for CVD

Being exposed to secondhand smoke -

This also increases the risk of stroke associated with CVD

- participating in exercise: this decreases the risk of CVD

Having elevated HDL cholesterol levels - this decreases ones risk of CVD as it helps to clear cholesterol from arteries delivering them back to the lover and reducing the risk for CVD
