The statement that is MOST likely true is:

**Matt may lessen his risk of heart attack, but it may also be genetic.**

While Matt's healthy lifestyle choices, such as running, following a vegan diet, and avoiding smoking and alcohol, can significantly reduce his risk of heart disease, genetics still play a crucial role in overall health. Therefore, despite his efforts to lead a healthy life, he may still carry a genetic predisposition to heart issues, as indicated by the history of heart attacks in his family.
