An example of an individual who may be at high risk for gallstones is a(n)
a. underweight woman who runs 3 miles four times a week.
b. man who smokes and eats eggs for break-fast every day.
c. overweight man who has recently begun an exercise program.
d. mother with four children who has lost 25 pounds in the past 3 months.
D
Rapid weight loss increases risk for gallstones, so a mother who has lost 25 pounds in the past 3 months could easily develop gallstones. Underweight, regular exercise, smoking, and eating eggs do not increase risk for gallstones. Overweight increases risk for gallstones, but less than rapid weight loss.
