Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D
Primary prevention of metabolic syndrome is becoming a common thread in curriculum for children in the primary grades. This education focuses on the importance of moderate activity, dietary choices, and the prevention of alcohol and smoking. Treatment of dyslipidemia is not considered primary prevention. Diet should include reduced intake of saturated fat.
