All diseases have immediate and contributory causes. Most of the diseases will have many causes,rather than one single cause.
(TRUE) The statement is True.
Diseases are rarely caused by a single factor. They typically result from a complex interaction of factors.
$1$. Immediate cause: The primary organism or factor that directly causes the disease (e.g.,a virus or bacteria).
$2$. Contributory cause: Factors that make an individual more susceptible to the disease,such as poor nutrition,lack of public health facilities,or genetic predisposition.
Therefore,most diseases have multiple causes rather than one single cause.
