Research has shown that lifestyle behaviors, dietary, environmental factors and occupational exposure contribute to the number of cancer cases and deaths. Health indicators are important factors to consider when determining the origins of disease. How can variables in non-modifiable and modifiable factors influence a person’s health status? Discuss the difference between modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Include all in your response: Age Gender Genetics Environment Activity level

In a study, where the causal relationship between alcohol drinking and colon cancer was studied, there were 2000 people who consume alcohol and there were 2000 people who do not consume alcohol. These populations were followed up for 10 years and after the following period there were 280 people who had colon cancer in alcohol drinker group, compared with 100 people having colon cancer in the non-drinker group.

Natural disease processes generally involve specific organ systems: Cardiovascular Disease involves the heart and/or blood vessels; Pulmonary Disease involves the lungs, etc. Trauma, on the other hand, involves areas or regions of the body and sometimes all the 'organ systems' in that area: for example, blunt trauma to the chest may cause damage to skin, skeletal muscle and ribs (musculoskeletal system), lungs, heart, and blood vessels. The groups of structures damaged are called "Injury Patterns," not to be confused with Pattern Injuries which are discussed in our text. What can we learn by looking at the Injury Pattern distribution? What are some of the factors to be considered in their evaluation?
