Q

Body weight

A

How much an individual weighs:
- High BMI (obesity + overweight) responsible oe variation of health outcomes.
- Increases chance of developing high blood pressure, cholesterol and impaired glucose regulation.
- Type II diabetes
- Cardiovascular disease.

Q

Blood pressure

A

High blood pressure –> hypertension; blood does not flow through blood vessels as easy.
- Heart + kidneys need to work harder
- Blood flow can be restricted.
- Cardiovascular disease, heart attacks + strokes.
Risk factors: Smoking, High BMI, stress and poor diet.

Q

Blood cholesterol

A

Cholesterol = Fat.
- Too much LDL(bad) cholesterol = cardiovascular disease.
Risk factors: smoking, genetic predisposition, lack of exercise.

Q

Glucose regulation

A

Glucose; the preferred fuel for energy.
- Obtained through carbs.
- absorbed into the bloodstream.
Rise of glucose levels –> insulin released; allowing glucose to travel from bloodstream to cells for energy.

Resistance of insulin; prevents glucose from being absorbed into cells = impaired glucose regulation.
Risk factors: genetic predisposition, stress, pregnancy, smoking, high LDL, blood pressure.
- Higher rates of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease and premature death.

Q

Birth weight

A

Low birth weight (>2.5kg) = undeveloped immune system; more susceptible to infections + premature death.
In adulthood; type II, cardiovascular, High blood pressure.
Causes:
- Premature death.
- Age of mother + nutrition.
- Smoking + drinking during pregnancy (and illness).

Q

Genetics: Oestrogen

A
  • Regulates menstrual cycle.
  • Help maintain bone density.
  • In menopause it declines; loss of bone mass = osteoporosis
    (may have protective role in development of CVD, explaining lower rates prior to menopause).

Q

Genetics: Testosterone

A

Male sex hormone; produces sperm.
- Increased risk-taking behaviours and aggression compared to females.
Contributes to a higher rate of injury and morality in males than females.

Q

Socioeconomic status

A

Income:
- Influences ability to access resources that assist in maintaining healthy wellbeing and preventing disease(access to healthcare).

Occupation:
- Manual jobs; increase risk of injury
- Low SES = occupational hazards.
- Desk jobs; low physical activity.

Education:
- Improve health literacy, to make decisions to make healthy decisions.
Low levels = smoking, poor nutrition(obesity), inactive.

Q

Unemployment

A

“Unemployed have a higher chance of dying and suffering from more illness than those of similar age who are employed” AIHW 2006.
- Concerned about job security; elevated stress levels, income, and psychological factors.(sleep problems)

88
Q

Monounsaturated Fats

A

Found in plant-based oils; olive and peanut.
High consumption; lowers LDL cholesterol without lowering HDL.

89
Q

Polyunsaturated Fats

A

Found in vegetable oils derived from plants.
Omega 3; regulates blood pressure and blood clotting and a healthy immune system.
