Answer to Question 2

A number of environmental, behavioral, social, and genetic factors work together to determine a person's likelihood of suffering from a degenerative disease. For example, diet notwithstanding, someone who smokes, doesn't exercise regularly, and has a parent who suffered a heart attack is more likely to end up with heart disease than a nonsmoker who works out regularly and does not have a close relative with heart disease. The way to alter disease risk is to concentrate on changing the daily habits that can be controlled. The results can be significant.
