- what is the other term for obesity?

- what can cause obesity?
- how to prevent or cure obesity?
- a condition in which the BLOOD VESSELS have persistently RAISED PRESSURE?
- another term for hypertension?

- T or F: the lower the pressure, the harder the heart has to pump?
- T or F, less than 120/80 mmHg (means that the systolic pressure is 120 mm Hg and diastolic pressure is 80 mm Hg) is abnormal blood pressure?
- what causes hypertension?
- this disease can increase the risk of heart, brain, kidney, and other diseases?
- T or F: hypertension is a major cause of PREMATURE death worldwide, with upwards of 1 in 4 men and 1 in 5 women - over a billion people - having the condition?
- T or F: no hypertension means heart pumps normally and blood flows easily through vessels?
- T or F: heart pumping harder means blood may not flow easily through vessels?
- a disease that occurs when PLAQUE BUILDS UP inside arteries?
- it is the thickening or hardening of the ARTERIES?
- it is caused by a buildup of plaque in the inner lining of an artery?
- _ is made up of deposits of _ substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium, and fibrin?
- T or F: atherosclerosis is a fast and progressive disease?
- what are the risk factors for atherosclerosis?
- an eye disease associated with lipids that is an annular lipid infiltration of corneal periphery?
- T or F: Arcus senilis is a gray or white arc visible and below the outer part of the cornea - the clear, domelike covering over the front of the eye?
- an eye disease caused by fat (lipid) deposits deep in the edge of the cornea?

- An eye disease that occurs when a fatty degeneration of the cornea is characterized by whitish or yellowish deposits?
- In Lipid keratopathy, the fat deposits mostly consist of _ and _ _ ?
- What are the two forms of lipid keratopathy and differentiate them?

- In Anterior Blepharitis, a disorder of the ciliary sebaceous glands of Zeis, an abnormal excessive neutral lipids are split by Corynebacterium acne into irritating free fatty acids?
- These are CREAMY-YELLOW plaque-like lesions which frequently involve the skin of upper and lower lids near the inner canthus?
- It represents lipid deposits in HISTIOCYTES in the DERMIS of the lid. It can be RAISED or FLAT?
- T or F: Xanthelasma can be a sign of heart disease?
- Xanthelasma is also more common in _ and those of _ or _ descent?
