Explanation / Answer
1. Chronic diseases generally have several underlying characteristics, including a long latency period between exposure to risk and disease outcomes. The answer is option a. Latent period is the time difference from the infection to infectiousness. This is a characteristic feature of chronic diseases.
2. Tobacco, diet , physical activity and alcohol. Option b is the correct answer. Increase of consumption of both tobacco and alcohol increases the risk of chronic disease. Besides, poor diet and absence of physical activity also leads to chronic disease. So all of these are the factors that causes the chronic disease.
3. Adherence to treatment is influenced by several interacting dimensions - namely five. The answer is option f.
Socioeconomic factors- low socioeconomic conditions related to poverty, illiteracy, unemployment has an effect on adherence.
Health care- poor developed health services with poor medication and lack of knowledge has an effect on adherence too.
Condition related factors including the disease and the treatment available impacts the adherence.
Therapy related factors including the duration of treatment and bemeficiation of medication and the side effects affects the adherence.
Patient related factors like knowledge, resources and their individual attitude and beliefs also impacts the adherence.
4. Tobacco use is the major cause of cancer in the developed and developing countries. Most of the chemicals are carcinogens that compose the tobacco. The rate of lung cancer has increased to a greater extent in the recent years. Besides radiation and pollution also has a role in the cause of cancer.
