Answer:

Explanation:

Heredity: all the traits and properties that are passed along biologically from both parents to child. To some degree this determines your general level of health. You inherit physical traits such as the color of your hair and eyes, shape of your nose and ears, as well as your body type and size.

Poor social and economic circumstances affect health throughout life. ... Social and psychological circumstances can cause long-term stress. Continuing anxiety, insecurity, low self-esteem, social isolation and lack of control over work and home life, have powerful effects on health.

The influence of culture on health is vast. It affects perceptions of health, illness and death, beliefs about causes of disease, approaches to health promotion, how illness and pain are experienced and expressed, where patients seek help, and the types of treatment patients prefer.

Environmental hazards increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, asthma, and many other illnesses. These hazards can be physical, such as pollution, toxic chemicals, and food contaminants, or they can be social, such as dangerous work, poor housing conditions, urban sprawl, and poverty.
