Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A blood pressure of 155/90 is consistent with a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, which requires at least three of the following criteria: elevated blood pressure (130/85 or higher), elevated fasting glucose (100 mg/dL or higher), low HDL cholesterol (less than 50 mg/dL for women), high triglycerides (150 mg/dL or higher), and an increased waist circumference (greater than 35 inches for women). A fasting blood glucose of 80 mg/dL and an HDL of 60 are not consistent with metabolic syndrome. A waist measurement of 30 inches is below the cutoff for increased waist circumference in women.
