Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What are risk factors?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Risk factors are linked to an increased rate of a disease. They can be: ? aspects of a person?s lifestyle ? substances in the person?s body or environment.
  2. (WS) Interpret data about risk factors for specified diseases.
  3. A causal mechanism has been proven for some risk factors, but not in others. ? The effects of diet, smoking and exercise on cardiovascular disease. ? Obesity as a risk factor for Type 2 diabetes. ? The effect of alcohol on the liver and brain function. ? The effect of smoking on lung disease and lung cancer. ? The effects of smoking and alcohol on unborn babies. ? Carcinogens, including ionising radiation, as risk factors in cancer.
  4. Many diseases are caused by the interaction of a number of factors.
  5. Students should be able to understand the principles of sampling as applied to scientific data in terms of risk factors.
  6. Students should be able to translate information between graphical and numerical forms; and extract and interpret information from charts, graphs and tables in terms of risk factors. (MS)
  7. Students should be able to use a scatter diagram to identify a correlation between two variables in terms of risk factors.

Keywords:
  • Cardiovascular disease: A range of conditions caused by a build-up of fatty deposits inside the arteries. (1)
  • Causal: Where there is an explanation of how one factor causes a change in another. (1)
  • Correlation: A relationship or connection between two factors, often see on a graph. (1)
  • Risk Factor: A variable associated with an increased risk of disease or infection. (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What are the risk factors that can increase the rate of a disease?
    Risk factors are linked to an increased rate of a disease. They can be aspects of a person's lifestyle, substances in the person's body or environment.
  2. What does the term "risk factors" mean?
    Risk factors are linked to an increased rate of a disease.
  3. What are the different causal mechanisms that have been proven for some risk factors such as diet, smoking, obesity, radiation?
    A causal mechanism has been proven for some risk factors, but not in others. The effects of diet, smoking and exercise on cardiovascular disease. Obesity as a risk factor for Type 2 diabetes. The effect of alcohol on the liver and brain function. The effect of smoking on lung disease and lung cancer. The effects of smoking and alcohol on unborn babies. Carcinogens, including ionising radiation, as risk factors in cancer.
  4. Are diseases usually caused by one or more factors?
    Many diseases are caused by the interaction of a number of factors.
  5. What impact would a larger sample size have on the validity of the data?
    The larger a sample the more representative of that popular the results of the analysis would be. The data would be more valid.
  6. What correlation would you expect to see between the following pairs of variables in terms of risk factors: a) smoking vs. incidence of cancer, b) alcohol consumption vs. foetal growth, c) drugs vs. mental health concerns?
    The expected correlation between the following variables could be: a) the more you smoke the higher chance of cancer you have, b) the higher the alcohol consumption the lower the foetal growth c) the higher the drug use the higher the risk of mental health concerns
