1 - Global Determinants of Health Flashcards
What is population health affected by?
- Demographic shape (age-sex)
- Economic compositon (wealth distribution)
- Behavioural and lifestyle factors (exercise, diet)
What does the burden of disease, ageing and disability depend on?
- Population size
- Population shape
- Age-sex specific rates
What are sociodemographic factors?
- Demographic transition
- Economic transition
- Behavioural and lifestyle
(POPULATION HEALTH)
What are population factors?
- Population size
- Population shape
- Age-sex specific rates
(BURDEN OF DISEASE)
How does population science make assumptions about the population in general?
Sampling
What is population strategy and high risk strategy?
PS - Targeting whole population
HRS - Targeting those at high risk
Go for the one that is going to lower the risk or disease the most
What is Geoffrey Rose’s Prevention Paradox?
- Large numbers of people must participate in a preventative strategy for direct benefit to relatively few. (e.g fluoride in water)
- Large number of people at small risk may generate more cases than a small number at a higher risk
What is a nanny state?
Term that describes the government as being overprotective or removing free choice (e.g fluoride in water)
What is
- Demography?
- Epidemiology?
- Statistics?
- Study of size and shape of population
- Study of disease in populations
- Study of data in numerical form
What is cause and consequence?
Cause:
Demography, Epidemiology, Statistics
Consequence:
Public Health, Disease prevention, Health promotion
Describe the demographic transition model?
Allows you to view natural increase and decline
What are the 6 leading causes of death in the 21st century in order?
- Dementia
- Heart Diseases
- Cerebrovascular diseases (e.g stroke)
- Chronic lower respiratory diseases (COPD)
- Cancer (Lung)
- Diabetes
Label these graphs?
Say about youthful, ageing and dependent populations
How does disability vary with demographic transition?
Cause = Demographic transition
Consequence: Prevalence of disability
What are the consequences of finances on healthcare in England?
Which country has the best healthcare?
UK in everything but keeping people living longer (we are worst at that)
What is the relationship between money spent per person in healthcare and the quality of healthcare?
