Jewel’s family’s medical history may cause her premium to go up.

Rationale: She’s young (25) and a non-smoker, and her hobbies (reading, walking) are low-risk—she also gets daily exercise—so those items wouldn’t increase the premium. A family history of heart problems (especially in a first‑degree relative) can raise perceived risk and lead to higher premiums.
