4. This story illustrates a paradigm shift.
A paradigm shift is a new way of looking at a situation and/or problem that is completely different from the way you viewed it in the past.
How are we experiencing a major paradigm shift in health today?

5. In the 1800s and early 1900s infectious (communicable) diseases such as influenza, tuberculosis, and diphtheria were the leading causes of death.
In the 20th century
these have been replaced
with the chronic (lifestyle) diseases; accidents, suicide, heart disease, cancer (malignant neoplasms), and stroke.

6. When infectious diseases were the leading causes of death, health care was more of a mechanistic model.
Mechanistic means that you
basically live your life until something breaks down and
then go see a doctor
and get it fixed.

7. Now that the leading causes of death are lifestyle diseases, a preventative model is more critical.
suggests that
health is a culmination of
your lifestyle choices.

Malignant neoplasm implies a lesion that can invade and destroy the adjacent tissues and spread to the distant sites(Metastasize) and cause death, Malignant tumor are also called CANCER

14. #5 Heart Disease
Most of the risk factors that affect children can be controlled early in life, lowering the risk of heart disease later in life. Other risk factors are usually passed down through family members (they are hereditary) or they are the result of another illness or disease. These risk factors usually can be controlled. Congenital heart disease (heart defects you are born with) cannot be changed, but better tests and treatments are now available for children with these types of heart problems.
