7.  A condition of the body or a part of an organ in which its functions are disturbed
or deranged (OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY).
 It defines as “a discomfort, a condition in which body health is seriously
attacked, deranged or impaired; a departure from the state of health, an
alternation of human body interrupting the performance of vital function”
(WEBSTER).
History
Disease is
nothing but a
process
Pathogenesis phase: incubation
period (clinical sign and
symptoms alter)

when agent, host and
environment interact (middle of
disease)

10.  It defines as the aims of medicine to promote, to preserve and to restore health
, when it is impaired, and to minimize suffering and distress.
 Depend upon:
1. Knowledge of causation
2. Dynamics of transmission
3. Identification of risk factors and risk groups
4. Availability of early detection and t/t measures
5. An organization: applying these measures to suitable persons or groups for
constant evaluation

11. Primordial prevention:
prevention of the emergence
/development of risk
Ex-obesity (childhood)
Secondary phase: attampt s to
arrest the disease process,
t/ting it before irreversible
pathological changes takes
place.
Primary prevention: beginning of
disease/pre-pathogenic phase
Tertiary prevention: used
when the disease process has
advanced beyond its stages
(impairment, disability,
rehabilitation)

15. • Major ways in which humans interact with environment through food
• The science of nutrition has developed through the study of food components
that are essential to maintain health
•Foods are usually may be a part of plants or animal origin with essential nutrient
like carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals etc.
•Nutrition is the process in which body consume food or nourishing liquids, digest
& absorb and use them for health and growth

16. MACRO-NUTRIENTS MICRO-NUTRIENTS
•Required in larger quantities
•Normally include water,
carbohydrates, fats & proteins
•Except water micro-nutrients
referred as energy-providing
nutrients
•Energy is essential for the body to
grow, repair and develop new
tissues, conduct nerve impulse &
regulate life process
•Include minerals and vitamins
•Required in very minute amount
•Main function is to facilitate the
many chemical reactions
•Vitamins required for normal
metabolism, growth & development
& regulation of cell function
•They work with enzymes and other
substances
•Minerals Micro-minerals- calcium,
Iron, sodium and magnesium

17. Balanced
diet
• Consists sufficient amounts of nutrients for healthy growth & activity
• Essential for healthy body and mind
• Maintain healthy and sensible body weight
Improper
diet
• Failure to flourish
• Poor growth and development
• Poor physical and mental health
• Susceptible to infectious disease, even death
Over diet
• Weight gain
• Insulin resistance diabetes
• Obesity
• Heart condition

18. IRON Deficiency:
•Body does not have adequate mineral iron, abnormally low level of RBCs
•Body –not enough hemoglobin –tissues and muscles would not get sufficient oxygen-
anemia
•Unusual tiredness, paleness, shortness of breath, headache & dizziness, heart
palpitations
•Dry & damaged hair and skin, swelling & soreness of tongue and mouth, restless legs,
brittle/ spoon- shaped fingernails
Iron rich food:
•Red meat, pork and poultry

weal/brittle finger nails, difficulty swallowing, fainting, mental confusion,
irritability, depression, anxiety, tooth decay, insufficient blood clotting etc.
Calcium rich sources:
dairy products
calcium set tofu
small fish with bones

20. Viitamin A:
Too little vitamin A can lead to inflamed skin, night blindness, infertility, delayed
growth and respiratory infections. People with wounds and acne may have lower
blood levels of vitamin A ( fat soluble vitamin).
Vit A is important for proper vision, a strong immune system, reproduction and good
skin health
Symptoms:
Dry skin, dry eyes, night blindness, xerophthalmia, infertility and trouble conceiving,
delayed growth, poor wound healing, acne and breakouts
Sources of vit A: Milk, eggs, green veggies, orange veggies, reddish yellow fruits.

21. Thiamine( b1)
Imp for nervous system &
metabolism. It results, weight loss,
fatigue, confusion, short- term
memory loss,It causes wernickle
korsakoff syndrome, beri beri
disease
Good sources: egg, legumes, nuts,
seeds, wheat germs, pork
Niacin (b3):Used to turn fat into
energy
Severely cause pellagra (inflamed skin,
diarrhea, dementia, sore mouth
Mostly found in animal proteins & in
peanuts
Folate (b9)
Helps body to create RBCs &
produce DNA, Imp in fetal
development (brain & spinal cord)
Sources: beans & lentils, citrus
fruits, leafy vegetables, shell fish etc.
Cobalamin (b-12)
RBCs development, causes
anemiaSymptoms: fatigue,
weakness, dizziness, shortness of
breath, weight loss, nausea/ poor
apetite, sore red and swollen
tongue, pale/ yellowish skin

22. •Essential for healthy bones

24. Protein mal nutrients (PEM):
•Sometimes called protein-energy under-nutrition (PEU)
• A range of conditions arising from coincident lack of dietary protein and/or energy
(calories) in varying proportions.
Three types of malnutrition occure
•Kwashiorkor (protein malnutrition predominant )

•Causes may be: poor feeding habbit, lack of breast feeding, use of more diluted animal
milk
•Physical defect: cleft lips or cardiac abnormalities
•Causes anorexia, vomiting and diarrhea.

27. IMPACT OF URBANIZATION ON HEALTH & DISEASE
URBAN AREA: Areas of high human density and have limited access to potable water,
sanitation and other basic services. As a consequence, many times, their health
indicators are worse than those in rural areas.
URBANIZATIONS: refers to change in size, density & heterogeneity of cities.
IMPACT:
1. OVERCROWDING & RELATED HEALTH ISSUE: It causes health risks related to
insufficient && poor water supply and poor sanitation system. Lack of privacy
leading to depression, anxiety, stress etc.
2. AIR POLLUTION &ITS CONSEQUENCES: It can affect health in many ways with both
short term ( asthma & emphysema) & long term effect (respiratory disease, lung
cancer, heart disease etc.
3. WATER & SANITATION PROBLEM: Lack even a simple improved washrooms which
lead to increase of diarrhea and economic burden.
4. RISE OF NON COMMUNICABLE DISEASE: Urbanization is an example of social
change that has a remarkable effect on diet in the developing world.

standards of life that is acceptable by the society.
People experiencing poverty do not have the means to pay for basic needs of daily life
like food, clothes and shelter.
The end results of this problem are hunger, malnutrition and susceptibility to diseases
It impacts individuals in a socio-psychological way with them not being able to afford
simple recreational activities and getting progessively marginalized in the siciety.
EFFECT ON HEALTH:
1. Diet
2. Health
3. Exercise
4. Children from poor background are twice as susceptible to suffer from anemia,
nutrient deficiencies, impaired vision and cardiac problems.
5. Mental health is a main cause for concern in low income areas and money worries
can lead to anxiety, depression, high BP, insomnia and perhaps even suicide.

29. Concept of cleaning, grooming, for protection from infections to maintain good health.
PERSONAL HYGIENE:

eating food.
6. Wear cleaned cloths on the daily basis
7. cloths must be dried in the sun
8. Nose and mouth should be covered when coughing and sneezing – give protection
from the communicable diseases

30. MEDICAL HYGIENE:
1. Include personal attention to prevent the spread of germs & diseases
2. Personal protective equipments barrier should be used (gloves, boots , boots,
masks, gowns, caps, eyewear etc.
3. Good hand washing, scrubbing and skin care can also prevent work exposure to
disease and help in removing chemicals, germs and contamination.
4. Medical hygiene also pertains to the hygiene practices assiciated with the
administration of medicines & medical care (preventing or minimization of
diseases)
