The answer is the third one: 10 to 15 percent.

Explanation for each option:

  1. 0 to 5 percent: While losing 0 to 5 percent of body weight can have some health benefits, it is generally not enough to significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease for overweight individuals.

  2. 20 to 25 percent: Losing 20 to 25 percent of body weight can indeed reduce cardiovascular risk, but this is a more substantial weight loss than typically recommended for initial health improvements. It may not be necessary for all individuals to achieve such a large reduction to see benefits.

  3. 10 to 15 percent: This is the correct answer. Research suggests that losing 10 to 15 percent of total body weight can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. This amount of weight loss is often associated with improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar control.

  4. 30 to 35 percent: While losing 30 to 35 percent of body weight can greatly reduce cardiovascular risk, it is a very ambitious goal and not necessary for everyone to achieve significant health benefits.

In summary, losing 10 to 15 percent of total body weight is a realistic and effective target for reducing cardiovascular disease risk in overweight individuals.
