The Factors that Affect Health Status and Patterns of Ill Health P3: Describe current patterns of health and how they are monitored – Patterns of ill health in the UK are monitored through the use of statistics. The UK National Statistic organisation is responsible for producing these statistics in order to illustrate and identify patterns of ill health within the UK. Government statistical departments play a vital role in identifying and monitoring patterns of ill health in the UK‚ of which include:

A Punnett square can be used to predict whether their offspring are winged or wingless.

As many as four people in the UK have this gene; however the gene is recessive meaning children will only get the gene if both parents are carriers. (Cystic fibrosis results in a sticky mucus forming in the lungs‚ pancreas and intestines‚ and in the past it meant a low life expectancy but today a lot can be
