6. Martha's blood test results: Total cholesterol: 198 mm/dL. (0.5pt) a. What is the healthy total cholesterol range? (refer to Fig. 11-5, page 412) b. Is this value healthy, borderline, or unhealthy? 7. Martha's blood pressure: 125-79 mmHg. (0.5pt) a. What is a normal BP? (refer to Fig. 11-7, page 415) b. Is this normal, elevated, or hypertension? 8. Martha's fasting blood glucose and HgAIC is: FBG 110 mg/dL; AIC 6.0%. (1 pts) a. What is the normal FBG range? b. What is normal for AIC? c. Is Martha's FBG normal, prediabetes, or diabetes? (refer to Fig. 11-9, page 421) c. Is Martha's AIC normal, prediabetes, or diabetes? (refer to Fig. 11-9, page 421)

Answer 1

5) Waist circumference of martha is 40 inch ( normal is 35 inches). A high waist circumference is associated with an increased risk for type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and CVD.

6) normal range is below 200mg/dl

Total cholesterol levels less than 200mg/dl

borderline -. A reading between 200 and 239 mg/dL

high -and a reading of 240 mg/dL and above

so the Martha total cholesterol level is normal.

7) BP - 125/79 mmHg

systolic bp is 125 and diastolic bp is 79

a) normal BLOOD PRESSURE IS 120/80 mmHg

b) systolic BP is slightly elevated, but the diastolic BP is normal, so martha is normal.correctly speaking martha is in pre hypertensive stage

8)

a) NORMAL FBG = 70- 100 Mg/dl

b)HbA1c normal value is   4% and 5.6%

c) FBG is 110 mg/dl it is prediabetic condition, above 126mg/dl is diabetic

c) she is having 6 % so it is prediabetic , but there is high chance for getting Diabetes.
