Alzheimer's disease is not a sex-linked condition; it is primarily influenced by genetic and environmental factors. While certain genetic mutations associated with early-onset Alzheimer's are located on chromosomes, they are not linked to sex chromosomes (X or Y). The most common form, late-onset Alzheimer's, involves multiple genes and is affected by age and lifestyle rather than being directly tied to sex-linked inheritance. Thus, Alzheimer's affects individuals regardless of their sex.
No. Smoking is an independent variable which has not been shown, conclusively, to affect the timing of menopause onset.
normal neurological exam and development at onset, absence of other seizure types at onset, older age of onset, short duration of spasms, and early effective treatment of spasms
Cellulite is caused by a variety of factors including hormones, genetics, and lifestyle. Currently, there is no current treatment for cellulite. However, high stress levels have been linked to increased cellulite levels, so monitoring stress may prevent its onset.
the speed of onset for each hazard
Asthma can develop due to a variety of factors unrelated to smoking, including genetic predisposition, environmental triggers (like allergens, pollution, or respiratory infections), and lifestyle factors. It's an inflammatory condition of the airways that can be influenced by both hereditary and environmental elements. Even if you’ve never smoked, exposure to irritants or allergens can lead to the onset of asthma.
Marijuana has been linked to the onset or worsening of certain psychiatric conditions, including panic disorder, schizophrenia, and depersonalization disorder.
Meth can enter the body through various methods, such as smoking, injecting, snorting, or swallowing. Each method has a different speed of onset and intensity of effects. Smoking and injecting meth deliver the drug rapidly to the brain, resulting in intense effects, while swallowing or snorting meth produces a slower onset of effects.

The onset of hemorrhagic fevers may be sudden or gradual, but all of them are linked by the potential for hemorrhaging. However, not all cases progress to this very serious symptom.
