Having one disease can lead to higher susceptibility to other diseases because it damages the immune system, the body's natural barriers, or makes organ systems function inefficiently.
Tener una enfermedad puede aumentar la susceptibilidad a otras enfermedades porque daña el sistema inmunológico, las barreras naturales del cuerpo o hace que los sistemas de órganos funcionen de manera ineficiente.
| Front | What are the three main reasons why having one disease can lead to a higher susceptibility to other diseases? |
|---|---|
| Back | 1. One disease damages the immune system, making it easier for other pathogens to cause disease
2. A disease could damage the body's natural barriers and defences, allowing pathogens to get into the body more easily
3. A disease could stop an organ system from working efficiently, making other diseases more likely to occur |
