Unit 3, Aos 1, Dp 5-6 - Overview Flashcards
1
Q
Smoking
A
- Smoking: damages cells in lungs -> respiratory conditions (emphysema) -> YLL/mortality
- Smoking: increases blood pressure -> heart attack/stroke -> YLL/mortality
2
Q
Alcohol
A
- Alcohol: filtered through liver -> scarring of liver tissue -> toxins remaining in body -> chronic liver disease -> YLL/mortality
- Alcohol: excess kilojoules stored as fat -> weight gain/obesity -> type 2 -> YLD/morbidity
3
Q
BMI
A
- High BMI: strain on joints -> cartilage wears down -> osteoarthritis -> YLD/morbidity
- High BMI: strain on heart -> blood pressure -> heart attack -> YLL/mortality
4
Q
Veggies/Fruits
A
- Vegetables/Fruit: low fibre (ongoing hunger) -> overeating -> weight gain -> cardiovascular disease -> YLD/morbidity
- Vegetables/Fruit: high in antioxidants -> low intake means free radicals -> harm body tissues -> contribute to cancer -> YLL/mortality
- Vegetables/Fruit: intake of some vitamins deficient -> neural tube defects such as spina bifida -> incidence/YLD
5
Q
Dairy
A
Dairy: calcium intake low -> weak porous bones -> osteoporosis -> YLD/morbidity
6
Q
Fat
A
- Fat: energy dense -> weight gain -> cardiovascular disease -> YLL/mortality
- Fat: change composition of cell membrane -> interfere transport of glucose into the cell -> impaired glucose regulation -> type 2 diabetes -> YLD/morbidity
7
Q
Salt
A
- Salt: increases blood volume -> fluid drawn out of cells -> increase blood pressure -> heart attack -> YLL/mortality
- Salt: increases blood pressure -> strain on kidney -> kidney disease -> YLD/morbidity
8
Q
Sugar
A
- Sugar: fuel for bacteria in mouth -> produce acid -> dental decay -> dental caries
- Sugar: excess kilojoules stored as fat -> weight gain/obesity -> type 2 diabetes -> YLD/morbidity
9
Q
Fibre
A
- Fibre: assists in cleansing digestive tract -> colorectal cancer -> YLL/mortality
- Fibre: increases absorption of glucose -> puts pressure on pancreas -> type 2 diabetes -> YLD/morbidity
10
Q
Iron
A
Iron: reduced delivery of oxygen to cells -> lack of healthy red blood cells -> anaemia -> YLD/morbidity
11
