and the third piece of the puzzle and the one for which we really don't do much directly in the way of treatment is the higher the inflammation the more likely uh the higher this is going to be and the reason this is probably lesser of the three is with very rare exceptions is it a direct therapeutic tool in other words we clearly therapeutically address the first two right we therapeutically lower apob we manage blood pressure we tell people to not smoking you know tell people to not smoke which of course is a therapy we you know use exercise and nutrition to manage metabolic health and even pharmacology but directly from a pharmacologic standpoint we don't really manage inflammation we can there are a couple of agents that are used somewhat not impressively uh and maybe somewhat on the margins impressively but most of the evidence around reducing inflammation probably comes from doing things much more broadly around nutrition sleep uh and exercise that we've talked about elsewhere
