The Principles of Hygiene: A Practical Manual for Students, Physicians, and Health-Officers (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Principles of Hygiene: A Practical Manual for Students, Physicians, and Health-Officers
The causes of disease may also be divided into the pre disposing and the exciting causes. The predisposing causes of disease are the various conditions which, by their influence upon the body, render it less resistant to the invasion of pathogenic bacteria, or otherwise pre dispose to disordered health. The conditions which have been classed as remote causes of disease also belong in this class, but besides these there are other important conditions which predispose to disease, such as the age and sex of a person, hereditary influences, race, conjugal condition, the hygienic condition of the environment, the density of the population, the nature of the occupa tion,' and the climate of the locality. Dr. Farr found that the mortality increases with the density of the population, not in direct proportion to the density, but as its sixth root.
The exciting causes of disease are the specific elements which are the etiologic factors in the production of dis ease. These are synonymous with the immediate causes of disease in the first classification, the physical, chemi cal, and vital causes of disease.
