1. which of the following statements about the risk factors for cardiovascular disease is correct?

risk factors should be ignored.
risk factors cannot be controlled with medicine.
many of the risk factors are related to diet and exercise.
all of the risk factors are easily controlled.

Explanation:

• Risk factors for cardiovascular disease should not be ignored as they help in prevention and management. So the statement "Risk factors should be ignored" is incorrect.
• Many risk factors (e.g., high blood pressure, high cholesterol) can be controlled with medicine. So the statement "Risk factors cannot be controlled with medicine" is incorrect.
• Not all risk factors (e.g., age, family history) are easily controlled. So the statement "All of the risk factors are easily controlled" is incorrect.
• Many risk factors like obesity (related to diet and lack of exercise), high - fat diet (diet), and physical inactivity (exercise) are related to diet and exercise.

Answer:

Many of the risk factors are related to diet and exercise.
