16
Q

what are 3 ways to measure a personal visceral fat

A

measure BMI
waist circumference
waist to hip ratio

17
Q

what effects can increased visceral fat have on the body

A

the more fat, the more adipokines which can cause insulin resistance

18
Q

what does insulin resistant mean ** loook up

A

the receptors on target cells do not respond as readily to insulin

19
Q

what are 2 tests that can be done to see if a person has hyperglycemia

A

Fasting plasma glucose- no eating for 8 hrs, then blood test

2 hour plasma glucose- drink sugary drink. get blood drawn, wait an hour, get more blood drawn

20
Q

what is metabolic syndrome

when a certain group of symptoms are found together that indicate the person is at higher risk for cardiovascular disease or Type 2 diabetes

A

true

22
Q

what are the diagnostics for metabolic syndrome (need to have at least 3)

A 
elevated waist circumference
elevated fasting blood glucose
elevated blood pressure
elevated triglycerides 
reduced HGL
23
Q

what is acute bronchitis

A

inflammation of the tracheobronchial tree or large bronchi

24
Q

what is asthma?

A

chronic disorder that results in intermittent, reversible airway obstruction

25
Q

what is asthma characterized by

A 
airway inflammation

Q

stage 2 asthma?

A

peaks within 6 hrs of onset

result of airway edema and mucus production
