The true statements about multifactorial diseases are:
1. The best indicator of an individual’s susceptibility is family health history.
– Family health history helps identify genetic predispositions to certain diseases.
2. An individual’s susceptibility can change based on their environment.
– Environmental factors, such as diet, lifestyle, and exposure to toxins, can influence disease risk.
3. Individuals affected by the same multifactorial disease most likely share an environment or lifestyle.
– Shared environments or lifestyles can contribute to the development of these diseases among individuals.
The other statements are false because multifactorial diseases are not directly transmissible from person to person, and they do not affect a great number of people due to easy transmission. Instead, they arise from a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
