Show Worked Solution

  • C is correct: Male aged 47 (high-risk age group for men) with high cholesterol and family history of heart disease meets multiple high-risk criteria.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect: Under 45 years with only overweight status doesn’t require mandatory clearance.
  • B is incorrect: Controlled condition with current activity suggests stable management without immediate clearance needs.
  • D is incorrect: Under high risk age of 55 for women and previous injury alone doesn’t mandate medical clearance.
