Violence, drug dependence and diabetes, according to White, are political problems as well as personal problems. Perhaps this can also be said for obesity, hypertension and hyperlipidemia, all of which were listed in Mr. Brown’s medical history. In this case, it is important to understand that these health problems are many times a human response to the stressors of society.

She did note that Mr. Brown had a family history of heart attacks which is a non-modifiable risk factor (AHA, 2016). However, she also acknowledged they do eat out a lot and get very little exercise and have been under a lot of stress due to a family member’s recent health diagnosis. She promised me that after Mr. Brown recovered, they would attempt lifestyle changes like eating healthier, becoming more active and ensuring his blood pressure was checked
