D) Has a fasting triglyceride level of 100 mg/dL
Ans: C
Feedback:
Diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome include blood pressure of greater than 130/85 mm Hg. A triglyceride level below 150 mg/dL is within normal range. Sedentary lifestyle, high resting heart rate, and a family history of type 2 diabetes are associated with other health problems, including diabetes, but these are not diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome.
