The correct answer is c. Febrile (that's "not" included in the risk factors). 5-F risk factors for cholelithiasis (mnemonic) The 5-F rule refers to risk factors for the development of cholelithiasis in the event of upper abdominal pain: fair: more prevalent in the Caucasian population fat: BMI >30 female fertile: one or more children forty: age ≥40 cholelithiasis can occur in young patients with a positive family history; in such cases, the 'familial' factor can substitute for the 'forty' factor. Thank you 😊
