Non-communicable diseases, risk factors and other medical conditions brought on
by lifestyle
e.g. cancer, diabetes, heart diseases (cardiovascular of the circulatory
system), kidney disease or respiratory diseases of the lung like emphysema
and bronchitis, legal and illegal drugs, solvents, alcohol and lifestyle
choices
Doc Brown's biology exam revision study notes
What is a non-communicable disease?
Describe some examples on
non-communicable diseases. Explain some life-style risk factors associated
with cancer. What is an illegal drug? Why are some drugs so harmful? Why are
solvents and alcohol harmful?
