Question

A stroke can happen when a blood clot blocks an artery in the brain and nerve cells die due to lack of oxygen. Explain whether a stroke is a communicable or non-communicable disease. :)​

Answer 1

A stroke is a non-communicable disease!

Step-by-step explanation:

Communicable means being able to spread, from one person to another. Typically, those diseases are caused by an infectious agent. A stroke is not caused by a pathogen or infectious agent, but rather poor lifestyle and eating habits.

Answer 2

A stroke is a non-communicable disease because it is not caused by a pathogen or germ that can be transmitted from one person to another. It is typically a result of a combination of risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise, and/or genetic factors.
