HED 295 Define “risk factor”-for childhood type II diabetes?

Firstly, Define the term “risk factor”. Can you name some risk factors for childhood type II diabetes?

Secondly,  Is a correlate (association) between an exposure and outcome (disease) considered to be causal? Briefly explain your reasoning.

Thirdly, Complete the following diagrams.

Also, Explain why your example is considered causal in 3A. Explain why your example is considerably associate in 3B.

Fourthly,  Epidemiological studies are influential in shaping programmatic and policy changes in order to control diseases. You were tasked with developing a new policy aimed at reducing childhood obesity via New York Public Schools. Can you think of a policy that would help to address that issue?

Fifthly, Use Figure 2-3 below, illustrating age-adjusted death rates for selected leading causes of death in the United States from 1958-2008 to answer the following questions:
FIGURE 2–3 Age-adjusted death rates for selected leading causes of death: United States, from 1958 to 2008

Further, List and describe the trends in death rates by the five leading causes of death.

Moreover, What is the trend for Alzheimer’s disease? Can you offer an explanation?

Also, What are 5 leading causes of death in the United States currently (hint: visit cdc.gov and look up mortality rates for the most recent year)?

Besides, How do they compare to what we see in this figure?

Moreover, The table below compares the leading causes of death in 1900 to 2009 in the United States. Using data from the table below, calculate and record the percentages for each cause of death for 1900 and 2009 (hint: # for specific cause/ # for all causes). Answer the following:
Cause of Death

a.      What generalisations can we make about changes in disease rates occurring between 1900 and the present?
b.      Note which causes decreased and which increased. Explain why a possible explanation as to why there are those trends?
