Incidence
Young children are particularly
susceptible to Ringworm. However all ages
are susceptible to infection.
In countries such as Australia, UK and
USA the incidence of ringworm has been
estimated to be about 3% of the
population, increasing up to 5% in the
elderly,
Some subgroups such as miners,
servicemen and sportsmen etc. have an
incidence of up to 20% due to the use of
communal showers and changing rooms.

10. Diabetes (Type 1 & Type 2)

12. Cause and transmission
Type 1 diabetes ( AKA Insulin dependant diabetes,
juvenile diabetes ):
Occurs when the pancreas gland no longer
produces the insulin needed
One of the most common chronic childhood
diseases in developed nations (10-15% of all
cases of diabetes)
Is not caused by lifestyle factors
•
•
•
The cells inside the pancreas that make insulin
have been destroyed, so the pancreas is unable
to make insulin. It is thought to be caused by a
combination of genetic and environmental
influences, and is not communicable.

13. Cause and transmission
Type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependant, adult on-set
diabetes):
Occurs when the pancreas is not producing enough
insulin and the insulin is not working effectively
Is the most common type of all diabetes cases (85
- 90%)
Risk factors include family history, ethnic
background and being overweight
Caused by Lifestyle factors such as unhealthy
eating and lack of physical activity, older age,
obesity, family history of diabetes, impaired
glucose tolerance, physical inactivity, and even
race/ethnicity

18. Prevention
Type 1 Diabetes:
Generally Type 1 Diabetes Cannot be
prevented- However through receiving low
doses of insulin, you can delay its arrival if
you know for a fact that you will catch the
disease.

19. Prevention
Type 2 Diabetes:
Can be prevented through: Following a
healthy lifestyle- this includes regular
physical activity, making healthy food
choices, and not putting on a lot of weight,
especially if there is a chance of having a
pre-diabetic condition. A more advanced
option is genetically – If you know that
genetically tour family has a history of
diabetes there is a procedure that envolves
replacing the faulty (diabetic) genes with
normal ones
