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.

Non-Infectious Diseases
- Cardiovascular: Heart and blood vessels
- Arteriosclerosis (thickened walls)
- Cerebrovascular accident
- Coronary disease
- Oncology: Loss of control
- Immune Disorders: AIDS, multiple sclerosis, allergies
- Eating Disorders: Obesity, bulimia, anorexia
- Hereditary and Congenital:
- Mental disorders

- Aging: Osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease
