Case A Your favorite cousin, Selena, is a 42- year old female. She is overweight (BMI 37kg/m 2 ) and does not like to exercise because it messes up her hair. Her doctor told her she had pre- hypertension and pre-diabetes. Your grandmother had diabetes and died from heart failure. Your aunt, her mother, died of an MI at 45.
