The modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease from the given options are:

  • Hyperlipidemia
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Occupational stress

Explanation:

  1. Age 65 or older: This is not a modifiable risk factor. Age is a non-modifiable risk factor because it cannot be changed or influenced by lifestyle or medical interventions.

  2. Hyperlipidemia: This is a modifiable risk factor. It refers to having high levels of lipids (fats) in the blood, such as cholesterol and triglycerides. It can be managed and modified through diet, exercise, and medication.

  3. Sedentary lifestyle: This is a modifiable risk factor. A sedentary lifestyle, characterized by a lack of physical activity, can be changed by incorporating regular exercise and physical activity into one's routine.

  4. Occupational stress: This is a modifiable risk factor. While stress is a part of life, how one manages and reduces stress can be modified through various stress management techniques, lifestyle changes, and sometimes counseling or therapy.

  5. Family history of high blood pressure: This is not a modifiable risk factor. Family history is a non-modifiable risk factor because it is determined by genetics and cannot be changed.

In summary, the modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease from the list are hyperlipidemia, sedentary lifestyle, and occupational stress.

Use a normal approximation to find the probability of the indicated number of voters. In this case, assume that 158 eligible voters aged 18-24 are randomly selected. Suppose a previous study showed that among eligible voters aged 18-24, 22% of them voted. Probability that fewer than 37 voted The probability that fewer than 37 of 158 eligible voters voted is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
