Which of the following statements about indirect causes of disease are true? Check all that apply.

Indirect causes do not lead to disease through one simple, immediate pathway; they often involve several contributing factors, so they are usually multifactorial. Those factors can include genetic influences, making “can be genetic” true. Indirect causes can also be environmental, so “never environmental” is false, and they are not generally the easiest causes to understand.
