GCSE Biology - Risk Factors for Non-Communicable Disease | How Disease Affects Others in Society

⭐️ https://www.cognito.org/ ⭐️

** WHAT'S COVERED **
1. Definition and role of risk factors in increasing the chance of developing diseases.
Focus on non-communicable diseases (e.g., coronary heart disease, diabetes, cancer).
2. Categorisation of risk factors.
Lifestyle factors (e.g., diet, obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption, lack of exercise).
Substances in the body or environment (e.g., air pollution, asbestos, radiation).
3. Interaction and direct causation involving risk factors.
How multiple factors can contribute to conditions like cardiovascular disease.
Examples where a risk factor directly causes a disease (e.g., smoking and lung cancer, alcohol and liver disease, obesity and type 2 diabetes).
4. Impact of diseases beyond the individual level.
Effects on family and friends (e.g., need for support).
National impact (e.g., workforce productivity, healthcare spending).
5. Correlation between population groups and disease incidence.
Differences in risk factors and disease rates in developed countries.
Increased risk factors (smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise) and related diseases (cardiovascular disease, obesity) in more deprived areas.
