Course content
The subject introduces a student into a complex dynamic role and mutual interplay of both external (environmental) and internal (genetic) factors in the origin and development of diseases. Based on the definition of risk factors, the subject lays emphasis on the key role of the civilization risk factors and analyses the major civilization disorders as a consequence of the conflict between environmental cues and inherited dispositions. In particular, the student gets knowledge about etiopathogenesis of diseases and learns the basis for practical therapeutic and preventive measures.

Learning outcomes
The subject provides students with basic specialized terminology used in the field, with a comprehensive picture of diseases by linking interdisciplinary information, from the causes to the effects, and with ideas about the dynamics of changes accompanying both their development and therapeutic interventions.
The students understand the complex relations between causes, dynamics and progress of disease based on clinical symptomes and syndromes. They are able to integrate these knowledge into prevention of the musculoskeletal system diseases.
