Disease
  1. Causes of disease
    1. Pathogens-disease causing organisms
      1. By damaging host tissues
        1. By producing toxins
        2. Malfunction of body/mind causing adverse affect of health
          1. Pathogens: Gain entry to the host, colonise tissue, resist defences, damage host
            1. Interfaces
              1. Skin (cuts,abrasions,bites)
                1. Gas-exchange system
                  1. Digestive system
                  2. Data and disease
                    1. Epidemiology
                      1. Correlation- relationship between variables BUT doesn't show causation
                        1. Needs additional experiments
                      2. Lifestyle/health
                        1. Risk
                          1. Probability of hazardous event

                                1. Needs timescale
                                  1. Often relative to multiple factors
