An analysis revealed that a hospitalized elderly patient with a history of MI had high levels of Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL), suggesting a risk of developing Hyperdyslipidemia/ Coronary Artery Disease (Artherosclerosis).

What occurs when there are elevated levels of LDL?

  • LDL cholesterol is known as "bad" cholesterol because it builds up in the walls of your blood vessels, raising your risk of health problems such as a heart attack or stroke.
  • Cholesterol, on the other hand, is not wholly bad.
  • Your body needs it to protect its neurons and manufacture healthy cells and hormones.
  • Some of your cholesterol comes from the foods you eat, while the remainder is made by your liver.
  • Proteins take it to its location since it does not disintegrate in blood.
  • These carriers are known as lipoproteins.
  • A blood test may assess LDL, HDL, and total cholesterol levels.
  • Triglycerides, a kind of fat that retains excess energy from the diet, are also tested.

Why is whole milk better then 2 in baking?
kozerog [31]
In our family, my mom makes homemade mac n' cheese for Thanksgiving and New Year's dinner. She always uses the Whole Milk, and that's for one reason. When you are baking, whole milk tends to be thicker than 2% milk. Using the whole milk makes the mac n' cheese more creamy. If you wanted to bake cookies and make homemade dough, 2% would be the better option, unless you want the cookies to be super soft. Personally, I prefer 2% milk, but a lot of recipes call for whole milk. If you wanted to make something like homemade cake frosting, you would use whipping cream and 2% milk. Why? Because if you used whipping cream and whole milk, the frosting would be extremely thick, and ultimately very difficult to hand mix (even if you used one of those plug-in mixers, it would still make a huge mess). 

Let me know if you want to know anything else! :)

Disengagement theory would believe which of the following? Group of answer choices Older people should remain in the work force
vichka [17]

Answer:

It`s crucial that old people have positive reinforcement.

Explanation:

Since this theory states that aging is something natural and inevitable, the older people are going to be disconnected with the society and people that surround he/she unless this old person has an activity to reincorporate to society. For example, when an old person get retired, if this person does not have  hobbies or other activity of interest, by passing the time, it will reduce the human contact and hie/her role in society.

Hope this information was useful.
