Risk Factor Self Assessment - Answers

Question #5: Apple-shaped versus pear-shaped women are at higher risk for heart disease.

True: Apple-shaped women carry more of their weight in the abdominal/waist area (visceral fat), which increases the potential for developing type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and abnormal blood cholesterol levels. Your waist circumference should be less than 35 inches.
