Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Risk factor categories found to be associated with overall health include childhood and maternal undernutrition; other nutrition-related risk factors and inactivity; additive substances; sexual and reproductive health; and environmental risks (such as air pollution). Allergy, traumatic injury, and Down syndrome are not risk factors for overall health.

Demographic transitions may progress from low to high levels and include the following: high fertility and high mortality, resulting in slow population growth; improvement in hygiene and nutrition, leading to a decreased burden of infectious disease; mortality declines and, later, fertility declines.
