Health and Disease Factors

Genetic Factors

Diseases of genetic origin: Can be present at birth or appear years later, produced by mutations. Examples: hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, achondroplasia.

Congenital diseases: Present at birth, some are genetic (inherited) and others are environmental (drugs, alcohol, infections, radiation, and exposure to chemical products).

Genetic predisposition to disease: Most diseases appear long after birth, with multifactorial origins.

Biological Factors

Sex: Heritable characteristics determined by a pair of chromosomes from each parent.

Aging: Causes errors in the processes of replication, repair, or transcription of DNA and the appearance of mutations.

Linked processes: Free radicals inside the cells or coming from the environment.

Environmental Factors

Water quality, health, environmental quality, exposure to infectious agents and parasites, exposure to carcinogenic agents, and other factors.

Personal Factors

Socioeconomic situation, attitudes, and behavior.

Healthy Lifestyle

Food: Low in animal fats, replacing them with oils. Avoid smoked, salted, and fried foods. Vegetables rich in fiber and low in vegetable salt. Bluefish and foods high in fatty acids. Reduce the consumption of stimulant beverages.

Physical Activity: Reduces heart rate, diminishes bone loss, maintains ideal weight, retards cellular aging, enhances the immune system, and combats stress.

Work, Alcohol, Drugs:

  • Tobacco: Produces lung diseases and is chronic (nicotine, tar, CO2).
  • Alcohol: Depresses the central nervous system, reduces the sensation of fatigue.
  • Drugs: Alters the mind and body (stimulants, depressants, narcotics, hallucinogens).

Stress Prevention and Defense: Dialogue, sports, do not tolerate mistreatment or abuse.

Enjoy Leisure and Other Habits: Contact with nature, cultural activities, daily rest.

Diseases

Source: Internal causes, external causes, chronic and acute diseases.

Infectious Diseases

Routes of Transmission: Direct or indirect

Infectious Agents: Viruses, prions, ectoparasites, and endoparasites

Non-Infectious Diseases

  1. Cardiovascular: Heart and blood vessels
    • Arteriosclerosis (thickened walls)
    • Cerebrovascular accident
    • Coronary disease
  2. Oncology: Loss of control
  3. Immune Disorders: AIDS, multiple sclerosis, allergies
  4. Eating Disorders: Obesity, bulimia, anorexia
  5. Hereditary and Congenital:
    • Mental disorders
    • Degenerative diseases
  6. Aging: Osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease
