Question 5

Which of the following statements about disease is most accurate according to the study materials?

Accepted Answer

Single-gene (Mendelian) disorder

Question 7

Which anthropometric measure is considered a better predictor of health risk than body mass index (BMI)?

Accepted Answer

Waist-hip ratio

Question 8

Which of the following best illustrates the concept of 'innate' biological determinants of health?

A genetic mutation inherited from parents

Question 9

A patient with Down syndrome has an extra copy of chromosome 21. This is an example of which type of genetic disorder?

Accepted Answer

Chromosomal disorder

Question 10

Which of the following is NOT considered a biological determinant of health?

Accepted Answer

Access to quality health care

Question 11

A person with a family history of hypertension develops high blood pressure after years of poor diet and lack of exercise. This scenario best demonstrates:

Accepted Answer

The interaction of genetic and environmental factors in disease development

Question 12

Which of the following best describes the relationship between anatomy and physiology in the context of disease?

Which of the following is an example of a functional determinant of health?

Accepted Answer

Pulmonary function

Question 14

Accepted Answer

Mitochondrial DNA-linked disorder

Question 15

Which of the following best represents a structural determinant of health?

Accepted Answer

Bone density

Question 16

Which of the following scenarios best illustrates the concept of disease as defined in the study materials?

Accepted Answer

A harmful deviation from normal body structure or function, resulting in symptoms

Question 17

Which of the following is a correct application of the concept of 'multi-factorial' inheritance?

Accepted Answer

A person develops type 2 diabetes due to both genetic susceptibility and lifestyle factors.

Question 18

Which of the following best describes the role of policies and interventions in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) model of health determinants?

Accepted Answer

They influence multiple determinants, including behavior, environment, and access to care.

Question 19

A researcher is studying the effect of a new diet on cardiovascular fitness. Which subclass of biological determinants of health is most directly being assessed?

Accepted Answer

Functional

Question 20

Which of the following equations would you use to calculate the waist-hip ratio, an important structural determinant of health?

Accepted Answer
