b. Disease and illness are components of a struggle for balance in the bodily systems
c. The failure of a person’s bodily systems in responding to stresses, resulting in a hormonal
imbalance
d. The assault by stimuli and stress on the body’s core defence systems
CORRECT ANSWER: A
Disease may be defined as the failure of a person’s adaptive mechanisms to counteract stimuli and
stresses adequately, resulting in functional or structural disturbances. This definition is an ecological
concept of disease, which uses multiple factors to determine the cause of disease, rather than describing a
single cause. Disease and illness are not synonymous.
