- climate
- geographical location of resources
factors contributing to health status and burden of disease
- alcohol
- high bmi
- dietary risks
- smoking
body weight and disease
CVD, type 2 diabetes, cancer, arthiritis, respiratory diseases,
birth weight and disease
low birthweight = underdeveloped organs increasing risk of infection
blood pressure and disease
high bp (hypertension) indicates atherosclerosis, strain on heart, CVD
bp is regulated by kidneys, kidney disease
glucose regulation and disease
often in obese individuals. type 2 diabetes, reduced insulin
sex/genetics/hormones and disease
men store more abdomenal fat = obesity and CVD, prostate cancer, cervical cancer etc.
cholesterol levels and disease
too much low density lipoprotein leads to atherosclerosis, interrupted blood flow, heart attack and stroke, CVD
SES and disease
income provides healthcare and nutrition
education provides high income, health literacy
occupation provides physical activity, injury, stress
employment and disease
greater income, access to health promoting services
social exclusion/connection and disease
not accessing resources in the community
cultural influences and disease
gender stereotypes (physical labour, accessing healthcare, contact sports, risky behaviour), traditional diets, attitudes +beliefs
early life experiences and disease
maternal smoking, alcohol etc leads to FASD, low birth weight, higher chance of CVD as u get older.
abuse + neglect leads to underdeveloped brain, slowed growth, CVD, kidney etc
access to healthcare and disease
cultural and financial barriers. delay in diagnosis, incorrect diagnosis
food security and disease
lack of income + physical environment leads to inadequate nutrition
housing and disease
risk of injuries unsafe housing, overcrowding infection, poor housing infection, pollutants in home CVD
work environment and disease
UV rays cancer, injury dangerous workplace, hazardous substances cancer CVD
geographical location of resources and disease
conditions being untreated or undetected, living close to fast food obesity
infrastructure and disease
adequate roads leads to less injuries, public transport leads to access, recreational facilities
climate and disease
uv rays, bushfires, droughts
smoking and disease
blood pressure atherosclerosis CVD, tobacco smoke faults cells as they divide lung cancer, low birth weight babies asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lowers immune system function
alcohol and disease
obesity from kilojoules, liver disease such as cirrhosis, FASD, motor control and judgement injuries
BMI and disease
strain on heart blood pressure hypertension CVD, impaired glucose regulation unable to metabolise glucose, strain on joints arthiritis, asthma, anxiety +depression
underconsumption of vegetables and fruit and disease
nutrients like vitamin c boost immune function, cancer CVD neural tube defects, high fibre decreases obesity, vegetables and fruit contain anti-oxidants which decrease free radicals cancer
underconsumption of dairy and disease
calcium strenghthens bones and teeth dental caries, osteoporosis arthiritis
high intake of fat and disease
weight gain obesity, low density lipoprotein increases cholesterol atherosclerosis CVD , impaired glucose regulation, colorectal cancer
high intake of salt and disease
excretes calcium in urine osteoporisis, increased bp hypertension CVD
high intake of sugar and disease
weight gain adipose tissue storage, provide food for bacteria in mouth leads to acid in mouth dental caries and gum disease
low intake of fibre and disease
obesity provides feeling of fullness, colorectal cancer adds bulk to faeces, fibre reduces LDL absorption atherosclerosis
low intake of iron and disease
reduced haemoglobin, iron deficiency anaemia, tiredness and fatigue
