Question

question 79
all of the following are secondary causes of hyperlipidemia except:
diabetes
obesity
smoking
age

Explanation:

Hyperlipidemia refers to high levels of lipids (such as cholesterol and triglycerides) in the blood. Secondary causes are those that result from an underlying condition or lifestyle factor. Diabetes can cause insulin resistance which affects lipid metabolism. Obesity is associated with increased production of lipids. Smoking can damage blood vessels and affect lipid - related enzyme activities. However, age is a primary risk factor (not a secondary cause in the sense of being due to an underlying condition like the others) as lipid metabolism changes naturally with aging.

Answer:

Age
