Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, E
Smoking and excessive consumption of alcohol may aggravate metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is not directly affected by inadequate hydration. Metabolic syndrome is directly affected by a sedentary lifestyle, not excessive exercise. Metabolic syndrome is directly affected by increased, not inadequate, caloric intake.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The incidence of metabolic syndrome in the United States is 1 in 3, or about 50 million adults. One in 3000, 1 in 300, and 1 in 30 are each less than the incidence of metabolic syndrome in the United States.
