00:01 Hello everyone, in this question we have been said that you are an epidemiologist who is studying the impact of obesity exposure on risk of heart attack.

00:16 So your work shows that you, your work shows you that obesity raises the blood pressure because the heart has to work harder to pump the blood in larger bodies.

00:31 So your work also shows you that strain of high blood pressure on the heart increases the risk of heart attack in these people.

00:39 So obese individuals requires more blood to supply the oxygen as well as the nutrients to their body which basically causes the increase in blood pressure.

00:52 So the body will also require more pressure to move this blood around.

00:57 So high blood pressure is also common cause of the heart attack which are seen in obese individuals.

01:05 So if the arteries that carry blood to the heart gets damaged and clogged then it can also lead to heart attack.

01:13 So this might be because of the building up of the cholesterol in it.

01:18 So this information here is true and therefore here our right answer will be option a says that the information tells you that high blood pressure is a co -founder in the relationship between obesity and heart attack.

01:33 So that is incorrect because it is not the co -founder and option b says that information tells you that high blood pressure is an effect modifier of the relationship between obesity and heart attack.

01:44 So that is correct here because the blood pressure increase modifies the chances of heart attack.

01:51 It does not directly link with the heart attack...
