3. Defining disease as conditions that cause ill health.
4. Categorising diseases into two main types.
Communicable (infectious) diseases: how they spread, their causes (viruses, bacteria, etc.), and examples (common cold, malaria).
Non-communicable diseases: characteristics (cannot spread, long-lasting) and examples (asthma, CHD, diabetes, cancer).
5. Discussing the interaction between different diseases and health issues.
The impact of a weakened immune system.
Links between viruses (like HPV) and certain cancers.
How immune system overreactions can cause conditions like asthma or rashes.
