Cardiovascular diseases
Metabolic syndrome is a
combination or cluster of metabolic risk factors in a single individual. However,
the metabolic risk factors include hypertension, insulin resistance, stroke,
heart diseases and cholesterol abnormalities. Thus, the clustering of all these
risk factors is specific to cardiovascular diseases.
The one-leg stand test is something the cops do to people when they pull them over depending on the way that person was driving to tell whether you were under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Explanation:
Sediment discharge was historically approximately 270 million cubic meters/year of suspended load and 130 million cubic meters/year of bedload. This has decreased 80% since 1850 and can be divided into three periods: historical period (pre 1900), pre-dam period (1932-1952), and post dam (1963-1982). Suspended sediment loads declined 43% between the historical and pre-dam and 51% from pre-dam to post-dam periods. The size of sediment also decreased drastically including a 72% decrease in the sand fraction. Most of this is due to dams on the tributaries acting as sediment traps primarily for the coarser sediments. Large-scale land clearing for agriculture contributed to increased sediment loads in the historic period.
