    One of the following is defined as epidemiology.

    • The study according to people.

    • A science

    • The study of diseases, injury causes and the risk factors to prevent and control them

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above". This is because epidemiology is defined as the study of diseases, injury causes, and the risk factors associated with them in order to prevent and control their occurrence. It is also a science that involves the systematic study of health and diseases in populations. Additionally, epidemiology involves studying people and their health, so it can be described as the study according to people.

    What is the role of diabetes in cardiovascular diseases?

    • Physical

    • Biological

    • Culture

    • A+B

    • B+C

    Correct Answer
    A. A+B
    Explanation
    Diabetes plays a significant role in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. This is because high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes can damage blood vessels and lead to atherosclerosis, a condition where the arteries become narrowed and hardened. Additionally, diabetes increases the risk of other risk factors for cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, and obesity. Therefore, the combination of diabetes and these physical and biological factors greatly increases the likelihood of developing cardiovascular diseases.

    Clinicians are  concerned about the diagnose to heal disease of the whole population.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Clinicians are not solely concerned about diagnosing and healing diseases of the whole population. While their primary goal is to provide healthcare and treat illnesses, clinicians also focus on individual patient care and address specific health concerns. Their role extends beyond the entire population to include personalized treatment plans and preventive measures. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Steps of epidemiology

    • Application > Study Distribution > Study Determinates >Prevent the disease 

    • Study Distribution > Application > Study Determinates > Prevent the disease 

    • Study Determinates > Study Distribution > Application > Prevent the disease 

    • Study Distribution > Study Determinates > Application > Prevent the disease 

    Correct Answer
    A. Study Distribution > Study Determinates > Application > Prevent the disease 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Study Distribution > Study Determinates > Application > Prevent the disease. This sequence represents the steps of epidemiology. First, researchers study the distribution of a disease, which involves examining how it is spread and who is affected. Then, they study the determinants of the disease, which includes identifying the factors that contribute to its occurrence. After gathering this information, they can develop strategies and interventions to prevent the disease from spreading further. The final step is the application of these prevention measures to control and mitigate the disease.

    What is CDC?

    • A center that is concerned about the life style of an individual 

    • It is the a center of epidemiologists 

    • Its a center concerned about health is mainly infectious disease.

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Its a center concerned about health is mainly infectious disease.
    Explanation
    CDC stands for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is a center that is primarily concerned with public health, particularly in relation to infectious diseases. The CDC works to protect and promote the health and well-being of individuals and communities, and it plays a crucial role in preventing and controlling the spread of diseases.

    One of the following is not a function of epidemiology  according to CDC

    • Communication with health polices

    • Placing out non-smoking Signs 

    • Examine usual and relevant diseases

    • All of the above are functions

    Correct Answer
    A. Examine usual and relevant diseases
    Explanation
    Epidemiology is the study and analysis of patterns, causes, and effects of health-related events in populations. It involves identifying and understanding diseases, their distribution, and risk factors. Communication with health policies and placing out non-smoking signs are both important functions of epidemiology as they help to disseminate information and implement preventive measures. However, examining usual and relevant diseases is not considered a function of epidemiology according to the CDC. This statement suggests that the CDC does not prioritize the examination of specific diseases but focuses more on the overall patterns and trends in public health.
