Communicable vs. Non-Communicable
Disease vs. Disorder
Disease: Impairment in the normal state of living, often in response to environmental factors or infective agents
Disorder: Disturbance in, or abnormal, physical or mental condition
What is it?
How diseases are spread/transmitted
How many in the US have a chronic disease?
6 out of 10 adults
Mortality Rate
Number of deaths due to a disease (divided by) the total population
COPD affects what part of the body
Lungs
What is the difference?
Communicable is a disease that can be spread and is caused by something external (infectious agent)
Non-communicable is a disease that cannot be spread/transmitted and is caused by something internal (genetics)
How can you break the chain?
Breaking any link in the chain will stop the spread of diseases
What is the difference?
Acute - Lasting shorter than 6 months, occur suddenly, have immediate or rapidly developing symptoms
Chronic - Lasting longer than 6 months, can be fatal, symptoms develop slowly and can worsen over time
