Ans:
B

Feedback:

Weight reduction of as little as 4.5 kg (10 lb) can produce a decrease in BP in a large proportion of overweight people with hypertension. There are no data to suggest this patient has a history of high intake of sodas. An increased waist-to-hip ratio is associated with hypertension. Leptin acts on the hypothalamus to increase BP by activating the SNS.
