Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Low HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, physical inactivity, and diabetes are all modifiable risk factors for CHD. Hypotension (low blood pressure) is typically not a risk factor for CHD, and may actually provide some degree of protection against it. Therefore, persons with low HDL, physical inactivity, and/or diabetes may require closer evaluation for CHD.
