This flashcard set covers advanced university-level topics in medical hygiene and epidemiology. It explores key factors influencing disease spread, risk assessment, and preventive measures, with a focus on hand hygiene, screening methods, and the impact of environmental factors on health. Medical students and professionals will benefit from this comprehensive overview, which highlights the importance of understanding epidemiological principles in clinical practice and public health.

 Epidemiologists are interested in learning about

 Screening programs are the example of:

 What is NDM-1?

 What is PM10 and PM2.5

. Removing of contamination from environment is the example of:

.health care associated infection (HCAI) is

80% of diabetes deaths occur in high-income countries

A 75 year old woman tried ti stop her fall using her outstretched

right hand.hear a snap and felt immediate pain. Her medical history

menopause at age 50. hypertension well controlled with di- uretics.

she does have a 50 pack per year history of smoking. She has a

swollen deformed tight distal firearm and wrist limited mobility

because of pain. AN x ray the fracture of the right radial head. What

risk factors for fracture is this woman likely to have.

A diet rich in dietary fibre tends to:

1. increase faecal weight

2. increase intestinal transit time

3. reduce the postprandial blood glucose level conception

4. improve lipid metabolism

5. increase catcall bacterial growth and metabolism

A feature of experimental studies is that

A feature of experimental studies is that

Ability of a test to identify nondiseased persons who actually do not

have a disease is:

According to Maro Lalondes health field concept, which of the

fields mentioned below is consi- dered the most important health

determinant?

According to null hypothesis:

Air pollutants can lead to progression of different disease and also

they acute exacerbations. Which diseases are connected with air

pollutants?

All of the following are measures of dispersion EXCEPT:

Almost 90% of COPD deaths occur in low – and middle-income

countries

An epidemic that becomes unusually widespread and even global in

its reach is referred to as:

An exposure that is associated with a diseases, morbidity, mortality,

or advance health outcome is :

Bias is:

BMI is a simple index of weight for height commonly used to

classify underweight, overweight and obesity in adults. Patient with

BMI = 27 is:

Choose ALL correct answers. In the definition of epidemiology,

“distribution” refers to:

Difference between the incidence rate of disease in the exposed

group and the incidence rate of disease in the non exposed groups

Diseases connected with mountain environment. High altitude

related illness are connected with:

Diseases that are always present in a community, usually at a low,

more or less constant, frequency are classified as:

Epidemiologic study that are concerned with characterizing the

amount and distribution of health and diseases within population. In an

example of

for non-interval (nominal, ordinal) variables and for interval

variables of abnormal distribution we can use only non-parametric test

HCAI can cause:

Healthy Life Years Indicator – specifies

Healthy Life Years Indicator – specifies

Healthy Life Years Indicator – specifies

If an exposure is a cause of a disease, then “temporality” is the

Bradford Hill criterion for causal inference that must be hold true

between exposure and disease

Incidence (I) :

Intervention designed to reduce progress of a diseases after the

agents interacts with the host, occurs during the period of

pathogenesis:

Investigators examine data from insurance company records to

assess mortality associated with air pollution among Wroclaw

inhabitants. The mortality factors they consider are age at deaths,

gender, cause of death, comorbidity. This is an example of a:

lycopene is 

Microwaves induce

1. Thermal effects

2. Bioelectrial metabolic and structural changes in neural tissue

3. Damage of the eye

4. Changes in immunological and hemopoetic systems

5. Chromosomal aberrations

6. Disturbances in the maturation of gonad cells

Most of the major health problems in the poorer nations are due:

Name a study that examines the prevalence of disease in different

population subgroups defined according to the presence or absence (or

level) of certain variables:

Non – modifiable risk factors of cardiovascular disease are:
