What are the risk factors associated with peptic ulcer disease?
Correct answer
A,D,E
Rationale
The correct risk factors for peptic ulcer disease are A, D, and E. Family history (A) indicates a genetic predisposition. Smoking tobacco (D) increases stomach acid production and weakens the stomach lining. Drinking caffeine (E) can stimulate acid secretion. Blood type A (B) and acetaminophen intake (C) are not directly linked to peptic ulcers. In summary, genetic predisposition, smoking, and caffeine consumption are key factors in developing peptic ulcers.
