Question

Walter is a 48-year-old man who works as a pilot for Air Canada. He is required to have his doctor submit a report of the results of a full physical examination every year as a condition of his employment. At the most recent visit, his blood pressure was 137/89, and his BMI was 27. His lab tests showed the following: LDL cholesterol: 3.0 mmol/L HDL cholesterol: 1.8 mmol/L His family medical history revealed that his father died of a stroke at age 74; his 79-year-old mother is alive and well. He participates in regular physical activity, doing a cardio and resistance exercise routine at the gym 3 times per week, and playing pick-up basketball every Sunday when he is home. If he is away working, he runs 3 times a week (at least 5 km). He does consume a lot of restaurant find because of his travel schedule.

Walter's BMI of 27 is considered 'overweight', but that could be due to his lower lean mass from exercising
too much, which would suggest he is is actually healthier than his BMI suggests.
