BEHAVIORAL PATHOGEN

By N., Sam M.S.

n. a behavior pattern or type of lifestyle which is detrimental to the health. This lifestyle is associated with a higher risk of physical illness, disability, and dysfunction. Thus, patients are advised against a poor diet, a sedentary lifestyle, unprotected sexual activity, and substance abuse. Compare behavioral immunogen.

BEHAVIORAL PATHOGEN: "No two ways about it but to say that a behavioral pathogen inevitably reduces a person's life expectancy."
