Communicable
A person can spread a disease even without showing these.
Symptoms
Which of the following is classified as a chronic noncommunicable disease?
a) Influenza
b) Tuberculosis
c) Type 2 diabetes
d) Strep throat
Type 2 Diabetes
define communicable disease
A disease that can be given to someone
Diseases spread through coughing or droplets in the air use this type of transmission.
Airborne
This medical protection trains the immune system to recognize pathogens
Which of the following diseases is communicable?
a) Asthma
b) HIV
c) Cancer
d) Hypertension
HIV
Eating healthy and exercising regularly can help prevent these diseases.
Noncommunicable diseases
define pathogen
a microorganism that can cause disease
Sneezing directly on someone is an example of this type of transmission.
direct (I would also take airborne)
A factor like air pollution, food access, or neighborhood design that can influence disease risk.
what is an "enviornmental" or societal factor
Which prevention strategy specifically targets communicable diseases?
a) Eating balanced meals
b) Exercising daily
c) Immunization
d) Managing stress
Immunization
A disease caused by bacteria is always noncommunicable
TRUE OR FALSE
FALSE
What is an incubation period?
the time between pathogen exposure and first symptom onset
When a disease spreads through contaminated food or drink, it is an example of this type of transmission.
Indirect transmission
A living organism that harbors a pathogen and can spread it to others.
a "Host"
A strategy specifically designed to prevent diseases that spread between people.
Limited access to grocery stores with healthy foods can increase the risk of these diseases. (and explain why for the points)
Noncommunicable
This type of disease develops slowly and lasts a long time, like heart disease or diabetes.
Chronic
A mosquito spreading malaria is an example of this type of transmission.
Vector Transmission
Improving school, healthcare, parks, and food access can reduce rates of this category of disease.
Noncommunicable
A factor that cannot be changed but can increase someone’s likelihood of developing certain diseases.
Genetic risk
Explain the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes
type 1 the body does not produce enough insulin, whereas type 2 is a metabolic disorder causes by insulin resistance. Simplistically, the difference is production vs usage capabilities.
A biological trait passed from parents that may increase susceptibility to certain diseases.
genetic predisposition
This type of organism, such as bacteria or viruses, causes disease.
Pathogen
Insects like mosquitoes or ticks that spread disease are called this.
Vectors
