*Factors for good health include genetics, the environment, relationships, and education.
*A healthful diet, exercise, screening for diseases, and coping strategies can all enhance a person's health.
*The best way to maintain health is to preserve it through a healthful lifestyle.
*Epidemiology is the study and analysis of the distribution (who, when, and where) and determinants of health and disease conditions in defined populations.

DISEASE
