In 2010, it caused the death of over six million people worldwide (Aden, Karrar, Shafey, & Al Hosani, 2013). The UAE faces many negative effects related to tobacco, such as cardiovascular diseases which accounted for 37.5% of all deaths in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (Aden, Karrar, Shafey, & Al Hosani, 2013). Injuries can cause mortality and disability. It was the second leading cause of death in the UAE between 2000 and 2008, estimated at 1200 deaths per year. Approximately 9% of child deaths were caused by injuries from 2000 to 2008 (Loney, Aw, Daniel, Handysides, Ali, Blair, Grivna & Shah, 2013). The third aspect is food hygiene.

Raw meat, however, must be placed on the lower shelf to prevent it from falling onto other foods. In conclusion, the three previous aspects of lifestyle contribute to the detriment of health. The father must stop smoking as soon as possible as it affects the whole family. Parents should make some changes to their home to provide a safe environment for their children. The mother and housekeeper should gain new knowledge to prevent food contamination.
