Answer 2

Influences on health status can be divided into categories like behavioral, genetic, social, environmental, economic factors, emotional…
1. Behavioral factors or lifestyle are those that are under the control of an individual. Behavioral factors include things such as smoking, alcohol/drug use, diet, activity level. They have 40% influence on health status.
2. Genetic factors are hereditary, so we don’ t have an influence on that. 30% is the percentage of genetic factors on health.
3. Environmental factors are those, such as air pollution or exposure to toxins. Humans are responsible for those conditions, so you have some control over your environment. 20% is the influence of the environment.
4. Mental or emotional factors can be referred to your personal condition state, your personal medical care. So, it depends on the individual and its influence is 10%.
