Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2, 3, 4
Rationale:
Vulnerable populations include those who are at risk for health problems. Intergenerational households do not pose risk for health problems; in fact, this arrangement may benefit members by providing social interactions never previously considered. Social isolation is a risk factor for health problems, although it is less common in undeveloped countries where people are less likely to live alone. Aging increases the likelihood of acquiring multiple noncommunicable diseases, while migration can increase the risk of spreading infectious diseases among populations.
