Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Physical inactivity is a known risk factor for type 2 DM. A body mass index of 23 and a low waist-to-hip ratio are actually considered healthy indicators and do not increase the risk for type 2 DM. While a blood pressure of 130/80 is considered elevated, it is not a direct risk factor for type 2 DM.
