SC.912.L.14.6 What factors affect individual and public health? • Colorblindness • Down Syndrome • Sickle Cell Anemia Influenced by Genes Determined by Genes • Cystic Fibrosis • Cancers • Alzheimer’s • Diabetes • Hypertension • Asthma • Epilepsy Although your genes only affect you. The mixture of genes within a population can determine its overall health. Health issues are sometimes caused by environmental factors which can include pathogens. These can affect individuals or entire populations. ◦ Air quality Asbestos, Smog, Mold, Lead, Allergens ◦ Water quality Chemical waste, Feces, Bacteria, Viruses, Parasites ◦ Food Quality Malnutrition due to drought and/or poverty Contaminated Foods Public Health also includes issues like violence, and poverty. Make a concept map showing how community violence, family violence or poverty can increase the effects of genetic, environmental, and or pathogenic causes of illness. Make a list of health concerns among your friends and family. Then classify the concerns as Genetic, Environmental, Pathogenic. Reading in the content area.
