Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Modifiable health-related behaviors are those that can be changed or modified through lifestyle choices. Smoking, poor diet, and alcohol consumption are all examples of modifiable behaviors that contribute to death in the United States. Cancer, emphysema, and cardiovascular disease are health conditions, rather than behaviors. Walking, running, and aerobic exercise are healthy behaviors but do not necessarily contribute to death when not practiced. Genetic abnormalities are not modifiable behaviors, but rather inherent traits determined by an individual's DNA.
