A
This patient is overweight but not obese, and blood lipids are within normal limits. Blood pressure is not elevated. Exercise is recommended as an initial risk reduction strategy because of its positive effects on blood pressure and blood lipids. Aspirin is generally given to patients older than 55 to 65 who are at risk. Statin medications and thiazide diuretics are not indicated.
