A person has parents with high cholesterol. How will this impact the person's risk of developing a blood disease? A. The person will have a higher risk for atherosclerosis regardless of his current or past lifestyle choices B. The person will not have a higher risk for atherosclerosis if he has a healthy diet and exercises often C. The person will have a higher risk for chronically low blood pressure regardless of his current or past lifestyle choices D. The person will not have a higher risk for chronically low blood pressure if he has a healthy diet and exercises often

Step 1
High cholesterol refers to the presence of too much cholesterol in the blood, which can lead to the formation of plaques in the arteries. These plaques can narrow the arteries and reduce blood flow, leading to a condition called atherosclerosis. Now, let's look Show more…

Health The probabilities that an adult American man has high blood pressure and/or high cholesterol are shown in the table. What's the probability that a) a man has both conditions? b) a man has high blood pressure? c) a man with high blood pressure has high cholesterol? d) a man has high blood pressure if it's known that he has high cholesterol?
Cholesterol Researchers have found that the risk of coronary heart disease rises as blood cholesterol increases. This risk may be approximated by the function $$R(c)=3.19(1.006)^{c}, \quad 100 \leq c \leq 300$$ where $R$ is the risk in terms of coronary heart disease incidence per 1000 per year, and $c$ is the cholesterol in mg/dL. Suppose a person's cholesterol is 180 $\mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{d} \mathrm{L}$ and going up at a rate of 15 $\mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$ per year. At what rate is the person's risk of coronary heart disease going up? Source: Circulation.
