Battle, (C. U. 2009).
Unhealthy Lifestyle
(Bortz, W. M. 2005)
Causes changes at molecular level
Causes preventable/non-communicable diseases and causes deaths due to them
Deprivation of Sleep/Unhealthy Diet
Hypertension
Type-2 Diabetes
Weight Gain
Heart Diseases and Strokes
Health Policies
Clinical Medicine
Age (Niccoli, T., & Partridge, L. 2012)
Increased risk of Chronic Diseases with Aging
External Agency
Internal Agency
Nutritional Status
Genetics
:The 30 000-gene human genome was widely touted as the ultimate determinant of well-being and illness. This conjecture has now largely been displaced by the recognition that genes actually represent only restricted arbiters of health whose repertoire depends on differential cueing. (Pierce, B. A., 2020)
Single Gene Disorder
It is estimated that less than 2% of human illness is attributable to a faulty single gene locus (Strohman.R, 1993)
Polygenic Disorders
Genomic Imprinting
Epigenetics
Post-Translational Modifications
Mutations
Gene-Environment Interactions
