Potential Effects of Five Different Life Factors On The
Development of an Individual
By Jibon Ahmed
P2- Write a report which describes the potential influences of the following five life factors on development through life stages
The five main life factors are: * Genetic - Cystic fibrosis, Asthma, Huntington’s disease. * Biological - Foetal Alcohol Syndrome, Maternal infections, Effects of diet in pregnancy. * Environmental - Damp/overcrowding housing, Bullying, Family dysfunction * Life-style – Nutrition and dietary choices, misuse of substances, alcohol intake. * Socio-economic – Education, Values and attitudes, Employment.
Genetics:
Genetic factors are caused through the genes of every individual. The factors that can be included are diseases that are inherited such as; Cystic Fibrosis, Huntington’s disease and asthma, also others that are known to be in a family.
Conception to Birth:
Physical: Having asthma when a woman is pregnant makes it harder for her to breathe properly. She might have stages in the pregnancy where she has more problems with breathing, due to oxygen. So this might prevent her from physical activities like exercise. She may not be able to walk for a long period of time, because she would get tired easily.
Huntington’s disease affects the way a person moves around. The disease destroys cells in the basal ganglia, the part of the brain that controls movement, emotion, and cognitive ability. Cystic Fibrosis is a hereditary disease of the mucus, saliva and sweat glands. It affects organs like; lungs, pancreas, liver and intestines.
Intellectual: Asthma does not really affect the mother intellectually when she is pregnant, because she is still able to think effectively. Huntington 's Disease is a brain disorder that affects a person 's ability to think, talk, and move, so a mother who has Huntington’s is most likely to pass on the gene to her child making him or her do the same, this is a risk that some couples
