They are genetically determined traits such as age, gender, and race-ethnicity.

Here, modifiable risk factors include:

Non-modifiable risk factors include:

2. Mr. Murry's LDL cholesterol value is 165mg/dl. If LDL level is between 160-189 mg/dL, it is considered as high LDL. LDL is bad cholesterol. High LDL cholesterol value of Mr. Murry can put him at higher risk for cardiovascular disease.

3.Based on the info provided the top three actions that can help people would be:

(1) To determine their level of risk.

(2) To teach them about the early warning signs of becoming obese and

(3)To make them more vigilant and health conscious.
