Q

Based on the physiology of men and of women, men and women encounter similar health problems. TRUE or FALSE?

A

FALSE. There are many sex differences between men and women including differences in core body temperature, heart and circulatory system, lungs, liver, etc. These differences in physiology lead to differences in health problems. For example, due to differences in immune responses, men are less likely than women to suffer from rheumatoid arthritis.

Q

The six ‘Stages of Change’

A
  1. Precontemplation: A stage in which you are not even aware you have a problem and in which you have no intention to change.
  2. Contemplation: Awareness that there is a problem behaviour and the consideration of changing it within the next 6 months.
  3. Preparation: Intent to change the problem behaviour within the next month.
  4. Action: Modifying behaviour according to a plan. A commitment of time and energy required.
  5. Maintenance: Continued work at changing behaviour. This change may take six months to a lifetime. Some lapses may be temporary.
  6. Termination: The Stage of Change where after two to five years, as persons behaviour becomes so deeply engrained they cannot imagine abandoning the change they have made.
