the severity of the diseasethe cause of the diseasewhether the disease is fatalthe length of the disease
Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites) and can be transmitted from one person to another. Non - infectious diseases are not caused by pathogens. They can be due to genetic factors (e.g., some types of cancer with a genetic predisposition), lifestyle factors (e.g., heart disease due to poor diet and lack of exercise), or environmental factors (e.g., certain types of lung diseases due to air pollution). So the key difference lies in the cause of the disease.
