Compare the terms ‘communicable’ and ‘non-communicable disease’.
Explain the reason the
causative agent of each of those diseases can be transmitted to
others or the reason why it
can’t be transmitted.
Answer:
Communicable diseases are the diseases which is transmissible directly from one person to another, that is, it passes from one individual to another individual. They are generally caused by bacterias, viruses or any other pathogens. Eg:- Malaria, AIDS etc.
Non-communicable diseases are the one which are not transmissible directly (does not spread) from one person to another. They include Hypertension, Most heart diseases, Chronic kidney disease, Allergies, Catarct, Strokes etc.
Communicable diseases can spread from direct contact but they are inherittable, that is they can not be passed from 1 generation to another by heridity. Whereas, Non-communicable are heritable also; that is, it passes genetically from one generation to another.

CHAPTER 12: SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS: HIV/AIDS AND OTHER COMMUNICABLE CONDITIONS Critical Thinking Exercise: Causes of Death Around the World The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation reported that the topography of disease-related deaths has changed over many generations, and that different diseases, both communicable and noncommunicable, are starting to affect communities differently. Specifically, the researchers identify that the typical life expectancy has increased on a global scale, which means there are now different, previously unknown risks and causes of illness...
