Question

Discuss how infectious and non-infectious diseases relate to communicable and non-communicable diseases and conditions. List and explain the different general classification of diseases.

Answer 1

Infectious diseases are the ones that are caused due to some.sort of pathogenic infection in human body example. Viral infection, sore throat, flu, botulism, UTI, tuberculosis etc. whereas non-infectious diseases are those that are caused due to dysfunction of phisiological or anatomical normality of human body for example, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, cardiovascular disease etc.

Communicable diseases are the ones that can spread through human contact or different routes such as HIV, AIDS, Syphillis, flu, cough, tubeeculosus etc. and non-communicable diseases are the ones that cannot spread from one person to another such as CVD, cancer, diabetes etc.

The communicable diseases are mostly infectious in nature as the infecrion causing pathogen have way to communicate from one person to another through different routes may it be through droplet infection, air, or sexual transmission. These diseases are correlated. Similarly, the non-communicable diseases are non-infectious in nature as they do not involve pathogenic microorganism that can spread from one individual to another and mostly are based on metabolic disorders and phisiological health issues.
