s-task 5 Flashcards
Tobacco smoke on cancer
- smoking cause fault in body cells as divide – lead to tumour – cancer
Smoking on cardiovascular disease
tobacco smoke reduces oxygen in blood contributing to increased blood pressure and heart rate
- tobacco smoke speeds up process of atherosclerosis (build up of plaque in blood vessels) –
increases risk heart attack & stroke – higher mortality rates from these conditions - chemicals in tobacco smoke – thickens blood – more likely to form blood clots – stroke & heart
attack
Smoking on health outcomes
Lung cancer and cardiovascular disease
Smoking on health status
Lower LE and HALE and Increase DALY
Vegetables and fruits
fruit and vegetables are nutrient
dense – high minerals and vitamins,
vit C, folate, low Kjs, high fibre and
antioxidants (neutralise free radicals)
- free radicals – damage body cells –
increase risk of health conditions
Under-consumption of fruit and vegetables – Cancer
Antioxidants target free radicals and eliminate from body – > reduces risk of cancer – >reduce prevalence of
cancer
- fibre (in fruit and veg) -> regular bowel movements – > removes cancerous cells from bowel –> reduce incidence of CRC
veggies on health status
Lowers life expectancy and HALE + Higher infant and under 5 mortality rate due to neural tube defects
veggies on health outcomes
cancer, overweight and obese, cardiovascular disease and neural tube defects
Fibre on colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer: Fibre adds bulk to faeces -> reduces risk of abnormal cells in colon and rectum -> reduce incidence of colorectal cancer
Low fibre intake -> higher rates of morbidity and mortality CRC
Obesity for fibre
Feeling of fulness (Satiey) - low intake contributes to overeating
Low intake contributes to more glucose absorbed by body
Fibre of t2d
Fibre reduces absorption of glucose (takes pressures off pancreas)
