WEEK 4 DISCUSSION: Emerging Infectious Disease and Risk Management




NR503: Population Health, Epidemiology, & Statistical Principles Week 4: Emerging
Infectious Disease and Risk Management TD1:Disease Causation
Steve, a 54-year-old Caucasian male, presents for a first time visit to your clinic. His history
includes five sexual partners in the last 25 years, two of those within the last twelve months,
lack of physical activity of any kind as he is an over-the-road truck driver, 25-year history of
smoking 1 pack per day, and no immunizations of any kind that he can recall since high
school. His father died of a myocardial infarction at age 62. His mother is alive and has
hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and Type 2 Diabetes. His BMI is 31 and his blood pressure is
142/90.
Name one disease he is at risk for and provide evidence on how one of his risk factors is tied
to causation of that disease
Risk factors for CAD
The lifetime risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD) after age 40 is 49% for
males.This serious condition is a result of waxy substance called atherosclerotic plaque
builds up in your arteries over times damaging coronary arteries, which are the major blood
vessels that supply the heart with blood, oxygen and nutrients (Kouzehgaran, Vakili,
Nematy, Safarian, Ghayour-Mobarhan, & Khajedaluee, 2015). Risk factors for coronary
artery disease include:
• • Age: As you aged your serum total cholesterol increases causing plaque to build up
in your arteries.In men, this increase usually levels off around the age of 45 to 50
years.Steve is a 54-year-old Caucasian male which puts him at increased risk of CAD.
