chapter three: factors contributing to health status Flashcards
smoking contribution to health status and burden of disease
- can contribute to higher rates of cardiovascular disease, including coronary heart disease and blood clots leading stroke and reducing life expectancy
- increase the risk of hypertension and can contribute to YLL of a range of cardiovascular condition such as heart attack
- smoking in pregnancy can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, low birth weight and increased risk of infection and SIDS leading to higher rates of infant and under-5 mortality
alcohol contribution to health status and burden of disease
- can cause Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), increasing morbidity
- can contribute to liver disease, increasing burden of disease attributed to YLD
- can increase the risk of death from road accidents, contributing to burden of disease attributable to years of life lost due to premature death (YLL)
high BMI contribution to health status and burden of disease
- can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, increasing DALYs and burden of disease
- can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and heart attack, leading to premature mortality and reducing life expectancy
- can increase rates of depression and mental health conditions, increasing morbidity
high intake of fat contribution to health status and burden of disease
- increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and heart attack, reducing life expectancy
- can contribute to diabetes mellitus
(type 2 diabetes mellitus) and associated
conditions, increasing years of life lived with disability (YLD) and contributing to
non-fatal burden of disease - leading to overweight and obesity, and associated conditions such as type 2 diabetes, increasing morbidity
high intake of salt contribution to health status and burden of disease
- increased risk of osteoporosis and years of life lived with disability (YLD), contributing to non fatal burden of disease
- increased hypertension and cardiovascular disease, stroke and heart attack, increasing mortality
high intake of sugar contribution to health status and burden of disease
- can lead to diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes mellitus) and associated conditions, increasing years of life lived with disability (YLD) and contributing to non-fatal burden of disease
- increased risk of cardiovascular disease,
stroke and heart attack, reducing life expectancy - contributes to overweight and obesity, increasing morbidity
low intake of fibre contribution to health status and burden of disease
- can contribute to overweight and obesity, increasing morbidity
- increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and heart attack, reducing life expectancy
- increased build-up of harmful toxins in the bowel leading to a constipation and associated conditions such as haemorrhoids and colorectal cancer, decreasing HALE
low intake of iron contribution to health status and burden of disease
- possible increased risk of iron deficiency anemia with symptoms of tiredness, weakness, lack of energy and dizziness, increasing years of life lived with disability (YLD) and contributing to non-fatal burden of disease
under-consumption of fruit and vegetables contribution to health status and burden of disease
- can lead to overweight and obesity, increasing morbidity
- increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and heart attack, increasing mortality
- increased risk of constipation and associated problems such as haemorrhoids
and colorectal cancer, increasing burden
of disease, disability adjusted life years
(DALYs)
low intake of diary foods contribution to health status and burden of disease
- increased risk of osteoporosis, increasing years of life lived with disability (YLD) and contributing to non-fatal burden of disease
- increased dental caries, increasing morbidity
explain BMI
body mass index is a widely accepted approximate measurement of the total amount of fat of an individual
- high body mass refers to the presence of excess fat tissues accumulated in the body
