True or false? a woman's behavior can often determine both whether or not she gets a chronic disease, as well as the chronic disease's course of infection.

Yes, it is true that a woman's behavior can often determine both whether or not she gets a chronic disease, as well as the chronic disease's course of infection. This is evident from the fact that women have a menstrual cycle that is dependent on their body state or health. The menstrual cycle is accompanied with the change in the level of various hormones in the body that lead to changes in the mood and behaviour. An onset of a chronic disease may delay or shorten the menstrual cycle, and affect the balance of hormones in the body leading to an ultered state of mood.
