Which of the following is a health condition that persists over time, typically for periods longer than three months?
1) social integration
2) health psychology
3) chronic disease
4) stressors
Solution
The answer is 3) chronic disease.
Explanation for each option:
Social integration: This refers to the process by which individuals are incorporated into the social structure of society. It is not a health condition, so this option is incorrect.
Health psychology: This is a field of psychology that focuses on how biological, social, and psychological factors influence health and illness. It is not a health condition, so this option is incorrect.
Chronic disease: This is a health condition that persists over time, typically for periods longer than three months. Examples include diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis. This option is correct.
Stressors: These are events or conditions in one's environment that trigger stress. While stressors can impact health, they are not a health condition themselves, so this option is incorrect.
