Question 4 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

Which of the following statements describe indirect causes of disease? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Indirect causes of disease are not always recognizable.
B
Indirect causes of disease are immediate.
C
Indirect causes of disease are never multifactorial.
D
Indirect causes of disease can include environmental factors.

Explanation

Indirect causes contribute to disease without being the immediate, direct cause, so they may not be easy to recognize. They can include environmental factors, such as pollution or living conditions. “Immediate” describes a direct cause, and indirect causes can involve multiple factors, so B and C are not correct.
