4 factors that contribute to health status
smoking
alcohol
high BMI
dietary risks
smoking
contribute to negative impacts on health status and BOD whlst not smoking can contribute to health improvements
smoking risk factors
low birth weight
-smoking whilst pregnant increases the risk of low birth weight
respiratory conditions
-increased risk of asthma bc it narrows airways
alcohol risk factors
contains kilojoules and increases the risk of being overweight which can increase risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes
alcohol risk factor 2
filters through the liver which can cause liver scarring which can increase risk of liver damage
high body mass index (high bmi)
body mass relates to the amount of body weight an individual is carrying
high BMI risk factors
cardiovascular disease
-strain on heart and hypertension
dietary risks
under consumption of fruit vegtables and dairy
high intake of fat, salt and sugar
low intake of fibre and iron
underconsumption of vegetables
vegetables are nutrient dense. without consuming the right amount of vegetables increases the risk of being obese and overweight and decreases our intake of fiber which promotes adequate functioning of the body
underconsumption of fruit
provides minerals, vitamins and fiber
people who don’t costume the right amount experience a less time of feeling full and are more likely to consume energy-dense foods with increase their risk of being overweight and obese
under consumption of dairy
without the right consumption of dairy, it increases the risk of morbidity and mortality and reduces strength in the bones because their is less intake of calcium which is the main nutrient
high intake of fat
overconsumption of fats can contribute to weight gain and high bmi
high intake of salt
salt (sodium) is required for efficient functioning of the body, fat is overconsumed
high intake of sugar
sugars are required as fuel for energy but eating excessive amounts they are stored as fat
sugars also provide dental decay and mental caries
low intake of fiber
fibre promotes the feeling of fullness reducing overeating
soluble fiber absorbs water
low intake of iron
an essential part of the blood
iron is an important part of hemoglobin which carries oxygen around the body
without iron, it can lead to anemia
3 factors
we use these factors to explain why health status is different between population groups
biological, sociocultural and environmental
biological
body weight
blood pressure
glucose regulation
sociocultural
SES
food security
social isolation
environmental
housing
work environment
urban design and infrastructure
climate and climate change
4 pop groups
males vs females
indigenous. vs non indigenous
low vs high SES
living inside vs living outside major cities
biological factors
body weight
refers to a person’s mass and high body mass index
obesity increases the chances of impaired glucose regulation which can contribute to type 2 diabetes
blood cholesterol
too much LDL in cholesterol is a key risk factor for cardiovascular disease
having high blood cholesterol can contribute to excessive alcohol intake which can cause liver damage which can increase YLL in Australia
