Question

1. members of justins family are predisposed to heart disease. what does this statement mean? their risk of developing heart disease is greater than the average persons risk. they are immune to heart disease and dont need to pay attention to their nutrition and physical activity choices. they have a condition of elevated cholesterol that is below the diagnostic level for heart disease. they will eventually develop heart disease no matter what they do.

Explanation:

• "Predisposed" means having a tendency or likelihood. So, being predisposed to heart disease means having a greater chance/risk compared to the average person.
• Option 2 is wrong as being predisposed doesn't mean immune.
• Option 3 is incorrect as the statement is about predisposition (risk) not a specific cholesterol - related condition below diagnostic level.
• Option 4 is wrong because predisposition doesn't mean it's inevitable (will definitely happen no matter what).

Answer:

Their risk of developing heart disease is greater than the average person’s risk.
