Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A chronic condition is a condition that persists for at least 3 months or belongs to a group of conditions classified as chronic regardless of time of onset. In general, women have higher morbidity rates than men. Women are more likely than men to have a higher prevalence of chronic diseases that cause disability and limitation of activities but do not lead to death.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
All the theories except one are stochastic theories, that is, theories that are based on the assumption that events occur randomly and accumulate over time, which results in aging. The only nonstochastic theory, which views aging as predetermined, is the immunologic theory.
