PARTS a & b Cardiovascular DiseaseObesity is an important determinant of cardiovascular disease because it directly affects several established cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension and diabetes. It is estimated that the average weight for an 18-year-old woman is 122 lbs. and increases to143 lbs. at 50 years of age. Also, let us assume that the average SBP for a 50-year-old woman is 124 mm Hg, with a standard deviation of 14 mm Hg, and that SBP is normally distributed. (Assume that SBP can be measured exactly and no continuity correction isnecessary.)USE SALT(a) What proportion of 50-year-old women are hypertensive, If hypertension defined as SBP ≥ 140 mm Hg?

Hi! Thank you for the question. As per the honor code, we are allowed to answer three sub-parts at a…

besity is an important determinant of cardiovascular disease because it directly affects several established cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension and diabetes. It is estimated that the average weight for an 18-year-old woman is 122 lbs. and increases to 13 lbs. at 50 years of age. Also, let us assume that the average SBP for a 50-year-old woman is 124 mm Hg, with a standard deviation of 14 mm Hg, and that SBP is normally distributed.
