KINE 433 Final Exam Questions And
All Correct Answers.
Risk factors for chronic disease can be divided into three categories - Answer 1)
inherited/biological
2) environmental
3) behavioral
Modifiable and non-modifiable risk actors for CHD - Answer MODIFIABLE: high LDL, low HD:,
hypertension, diabetes, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, smoking
NON-MODIFIABLE: age, gender, family history
Examples of an environmental risk factor - Answer 1) physical: air, water, noise, unsafe
highways
2) socioeconomic: income, housing, employment, status, education
3) family: divorce, death of loved one, children leaving
Examples of a behavioral risk factor - Answer smoking, poor nutrition and inactivity, drinking
alcohol, overuse of medication, fast driving/no seat belt
What is metabolic syndrome - Answer Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors that
promote the development of coronary heart disease. an individual that has three or more risk
factors is considered to have metabolic syndrome.
- abnormal obesity
- waist circumference of >102 cm for men and >88 cm for women
- hypertriglyceridemia
- >/= 150 mg/dl
- Low HDL cholesterol
- < 40 mg/dl for men and <50 mg/dl for women
- high blood pressure
- >/= 130/85 mmHg
- high fasting blood glucose
, What is oxidative stress - Answer it is the increased production of free radicals which cause
cellular damage and inflammation. it is one of the hypothesis for causation of metabolic
syndrome
What are the categories of blood pressure - Answer 1) NORMAL BP: systolic BP of <120mmHg
AND diastolic BP of <80mmHg
2) ELEVATED BP: systolic BP of 120-129 mmHg and diastolic BP of <80mmHg
HYPERTENSION
- stage 1: Systolic BP of 130-139 mmHg or 80 to 89 mmHg
- stage 2: systolic BP of >140 mmHg or >90mmHg
Why does BP drop following a bout of SS aerobic exercise - Answer post exercise hypotension
is a benefit to regular exercise. its caused by extenuation of exercise-induced vasodilation
Clustering of two or more disease is called - Answer comorbidity
Post-exercise hypotension can be clinically problematic when ____ - Answer mixed with
medications that lower blood pressure
What diseases are linked to chronic inflammation - Answer cancer, heart disease, diabetes,
arthritis, depression, and Alzheimer's
Name the inflammatory cytokine and/or a biomarker of inflammation - Answer C-Reactive
protein is a marker of inflammation
Adipocytes and visceral fat secrete inflammatory cytokines (TNF-a, IL-t, CRP)
What is epidemiology - Answer epidemiology is the branch of medicine that deals with the
incidence, distribution, and possible control of diseases and other factors relating to health.
FITT - Answer exercise dose adheres to the classic FITT principle:
F - Frequency
I- Intensity
T - time
