    Answer:blood glucose level

    Explanation:

    The risk factor for the coronary artery disease in the 54 year old patient is the blood glucose level (fasting). Normal blood sugar levels should be less than 100 mg/dL after not eating (fasting) for at least eight hours. And should be less than 140 mg/dL two hours after eating. The patient glucose level is above the normal level of not eating (fasting) and after eating. The blood pressure level and cholesterol level is normal for an adult.
