1. Report the results of your patient’s blood lipid profile and report the level for each type of lipid that would be considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (Use Box 19.1 pg. 348-349 textbook). (I have no idea how to write level that indicates a risk factor for CVD)

 

	Your patient’s result:	Level that indicates a risk factor for CVD:
Total cholesterol (TC)	150mg/dl
HDL cholesterol	60 mg/dl
LDL cholesterol	80mg/dl
Triglycerides (TG)	99mg/dl

 

2. For each lipid type in #3, list one dietary or lifestyle factor for your patient that is contributing to the value being either out of range, or normal. For example, if triglycerides are high, perhaps it’s your patient’s high intake of added sugar. If the HDL value is cardioprotective, perhaps your patient exercises frequently. Family history and age are not lifestyle or dietary factors. (Lecture or Box 19.1 & Box 19.2)
