Multi-factorial model is that there are many factors such as biological, psychological and cultural that cause health and illness. Biological factors are things like a person's age, family history, gender and ethnicity. Social-cultural facts such as access to health care, social economic status and family circumstance. Environmental factors such as water quality, natural disasters, pollution, and types of living and work environments. Behaviors such as smoking, diet, drinking alcohol, safety practices and going to the doctor or dentist are other factors. Stressors such as daily hassles and major life changes are other facts in this model.
These relate to the diagnosis of illness because many of these things may be able to be changed but many can not. Some of the factors make you more prone to certain diseases or health problems. Behavior such as smoking may lead to lung cancer. A doctor knowing that a person smokes may bring them to finding lung cancer earlier than if they did not know that the person smoked cigarettes.
