chapter 3 - factors that influence health status Flashcards
smoking and cancer
exposure to smoking Tabasco can cause faults in cells as they divide, which can increase the risk of tumours developing in the body, potentially leading to cancer, contributing to morbidity rates in Australia.
smoking and asthma
exposure to smoking Tabasco can increase the risk of developing asthma, which causes the airways to become narrow, increasing the risk of suffering asthma attacks, contributing to morbidity rates in Australia.
alcohol and injuries
excessive consumption of alcohol can increase the likelihood of individuals to act impulsively and take dangerous risks such such as drink driving which can lead to road accident’s, contributing to morbidity rates
alcohol and liver disease
excessive consumption of alcohol can cause scarring in the liver, and cause the liver not to function properly, this can lead to chronic conditions such as cirrhosis, contributing to morbidity rates in Australia
High BMI and osteoporosis
a high BMI can put pressure on joints, and increase the risk of developing osteoporosis can decrease function such as ability to walk, stand or write, contributing to morbidity rates in Australia.
High BMI and type 2 diabetes
A high BMI can decrease the production of insulin, which prevents the body from using insulin effectively, this increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, contributing to morbidity rates in Australia.
underconsumption of vegetables and high BMI
underconsumption of vegetables such as nutrient dense foods decrease the consumption of vietnams and minerals and increase the consumption of energy dense foods such as fast food outlets contain fat which can increase the risk of overweight, and therefore increasing a high BMI, contributing to morbidity rates in Australia.
underconsumption of vegetables and neural tube defects
an underconsumption of vegetables can decrease the development of brain and spinal cord in the prenatal stage, which can increase the risk of neural tube defects, contributing to infant mortality rates in Australia.
underconsumption of fruit and neural tube defects
an underconsumption of fruit containing vietnams, mineral and folate which helps prevent neural tube defects, an underconsumption can lead to increased neural tube defects , contributing to infant mortality rates
fruit and High BMI
adequate consumption of fruit is likely to make a person feel fuller, which then decreases the amount of energy dense foods consumed and therefore decrease a high BMI and risk of CVD, decreasing morbidity rates.
underconsumption of dairy and dental carries
an underconsumption of dairy, decreases the amount of calcium and minerals which are needed for bodily function, such as strength of teeth, this can increase the risk of dental carries, contributing to morbidity rates in Australia.
underconsumption of dairy and type 2 diabetes
an underconsumption of dairy such as milk, and consuming refined sugars or carbohydrates instead can increase the risk of obesity, which can lead to type 2 diabetes, contributing to morbidity rates in Australia.
high intake of FAT + CVD
high intake of fat can lead to an increase of LDL cholesterol in the body which makes it harder to blood to travel, making the heart work harder, this can increase the risk of heart strokes and heart disease, contributing to morbidity rates in Australia.
high intake of FAT and high BMI
a high intake of fat can be used as a source for energy production, if energy provided is not used it can increase the risk of obesity, leading to a high BMI, contributing to morbidity rates in Australia.
high intake of salt + hypertension
a high intake of salt, can draw excess fluid out of cells, which increases blood volume, increasing the risk of hypertension, contributing to morbidity rates.
