What is the most important to achieve physical fitness?
- Exercise
- Diet
- Genetics
- Sleep
Correct Answer

A. Exercise

Explanation

Exercise is the most important factor in achieving physical fitness. While diet, genetics, and sleep all play a role in overall health, exercise is essential for improving cardiovascular health, building muscle strength and endurance, and maintaining a healthy weight. Regular physical activity helps to burn calories, increase metabolism, and improve overall body composition. It also has numerous mental health benefits, such as reducing stress and improving mood. Without exercise, it is difficult to achieve and maintain optimal physical fitness.

Which of these is not an example of mental illness?
- ADHD
- Parkinson disease
- Bipolar disorder
- Schizophrenia
Correct Answer

A. Parkinson disease

Explanation

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects movement and is caused by a loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain. It is not classified as a mental illness because it does not primarily involve disturbances in cognition, mood, or behavior. Instead, it is characterized by physical symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and impaired balance and coordination. Mental illnesses, on the other hand, involve a wide range of psychological and emotional disturbances that significantly impact a person's thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

- Autism
- Depression
- Eating disorder

Correct Answer

A. Autism

Explanation

Autism is a developmental disorder that affects individuals of all ages, not just teenagers. It is characterized by difficulties in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. While depression, eating disorders, and drug abuse can occur during the teenage years, autism is not specific to this age group and can be diagnosed in early childhood or even later in adulthood.

Which of these diseases is not related to obesity?
- Osteoatritis
- Diabetes
- Typhoid
- Obstructive sleep apnea
Correct Answer

A. Typhoid

Explanation

Typhoid is not related to obesity. While obesity is a risk factor for many diseases, including osteoarthritis, diabetes, and obstructive sleep apnea, it is not associated with typhoid. Typhoid is a bacterial infection caused by Salmonella typhi, usually transmitted through contaminated food and water. It primarily affects the gastrointestinal system and can lead to symptoms like high fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Unlike obesity, typhoid is caused by a specific bacterial infection and is not influenced by weight or body mass index.

What is the invasive treatment for diabetics?
- Exercise
- Diet
- Surgery
- Medication
Correct Answer

A. Surgery

Explanation

Surgery is the invasive treatment for diabetics because it involves physically altering the body through medical procedures. While exercise and diet can help manage diabetes, they are not considered invasive treatments. Medication can also be used to treat diabetes, but it does not involve any physical alteration of the body. Surgery, on the other hand, may be recommended for certain cases of diabetes, such as weight loss surgery for individuals with obesity-related diabetes or pancreatic transplant for those with severe pancreatic dysfunction.

Which of these is not a key factor influencing health?
- Employment
- Cultural environment
- Social environment
- Education and literacy
Correct Answer

A. Cultural environment

Explanation

The cultural environment refers to the beliefs, customs, and values of a particular group or society. While it can influence health indirectly, it is not considered a key factor in determining health outcomes. Factors like employment, social environment, and education and literacy have a more direct impact on an individual's health. For example, employment can provide access to healthcare and financial stability, while education and literacy can empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health.

Rate this question:
9.

Which of these does not contribute to mental illnesses?
- Trauma
- Family history
- Environment
- Biological factors
Correct Answer

A. Trauma

Explanation

Trauma is the option that does not contribute to mental illnesses. While trauma can have a significant impact on an individual's mental well-being, it is not a direct cause of mental illnesses. Mental illnesses can be influenced by various factors such as family history, environment, and biological factors. Trauma can certainly be a trigger or exacerbating factor for mental health issues, but it is not solely responsible for the development of mental illnesses.

Rate this question:
10.

What is the most important factor influencing individual health?
- Genetics
- Nutrition
- Lifestyle
- Environment
Correct Answer

A. Genetics

Explanation

Genetics refers to the genes that an individual inherits from their parents, which can greatly influence their health. These genes can determine a person's susceptibility to certain diseases, their metabolism, and their overall health condition. While nutrition, lifestyle, and environment also play significant roles in individual health, genetics is considered the most important factor as it forms the foundation for an individual's health and can have a lifelong impact on their well-being.
