5. Which of the following statements is an opinion related to Hypertension?

• A. Obese people are at risk for hypertension.
• B. Losing weight can decrease blood pressure.
• C. Older people must pay attention to their blood pressure.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A statement of fact can be proved or checked. A statement of opinion is what someone thinks or believes. In this case, statements A, B, and D could be proved scientifically, but statement C is simply a suggestion. While it is advisable for older people to monitor their blood pressure due to the increased risk associated with aging, the statement itself is an opinion because it suggests what older people 'must' do, which is a subjective viewpoint rather than a verifiable fact. Statements A, B, and D provide factual information supported by scientific evidence, making them statements of fact rather than opinion.
