Unit 3 - SAC 1 - Part 2 Flashcards
Smoking (health status)
Due to the chemicals in cigarettes restrict oxygen in the blood flow leading to the cartilage in between vertebrates decaying faster increasing back pains and problems contributing to YLD/Morbidity
The chemicals in smoking thicken blood, making it sticky and more likely to form blood clots, a blood clot can block blood vessels and restrict blood flow resulting in a heart attack and decreased life expectancy
Smoking (dimension of H+W)
Smoking thickens the blood, making it sticky and more likely to form blood clots, a blood clot can block blood vessels and restrict blood flow making it harder for the blood to flow thus not allowing the body to attain well-functioning body, systems, and organs decreasing physical health and wellbeing
Alcohol (Short term)
Alcohol is a depressant which means it slows the central nervous system, decreasing reaction time increasing likelihood of the risk of accidents and injuries adding to the morbidity rate
Alcohol (Long term)
Alcohol is processed through the liver and excessive consumption can lead to inflammation and scarring of the liver tissue resulting in liver disease and adding to the YLD
Alcohol (dimension of H+W)
Drinking alcohol leads to risk-taking behaviors such as acting inappropriately in social situations making people around you feel uncomfortable decreasing your supportive network of friends lowering social health and wellbeing
Overweight and obesity (YLD or YLL)
Overweight and obesity means carrying excess fats on the body puts added pressure on joints in an individual’s body putting them at a higher risk of arthritis and increasing the YLD
Overweight and obesity means having an increased body mass putting extra strain on the heart leading to a heart attack which can be fatal increasing YLL
Overweight and obesity (dimension of health and wellbeing)
Overweight and obesity means carrying excess body weight decreasing mobility as extra strain is put on joints which could make it harder to complete daily tasks decreasing physical health and wellbeing
Underconsumption of fruit and vegetables (health status)
Underconsumption of fruit and vegetables leads to underconsumption of antioxidants which neutralize free radicals in the body. Free radicals damage cells increased risk of specific cancers such as colorectal cancer decreased life expectancy.
Underconsumption of fruit and vegetables may also mean underconsumption of fibre which provides feelings of fullness, more likely to snack on energy-dense foods therefore contributing to weight gain. increasing the likelihood of overweight and obesity Increasing YLD
Underconsumption of fruit and vegetables (dimension of health and wellbeing)
Underconsumption of fruit and vegetables allows for excess consumption of energy-dense foods making it challenging to maintain a healthy body weight lowering physical health and wellbeing
Underconsumption of dairy (health status)
Underconsumption of dairy can result in the underconsumption of calcium, calcium is responsible for keeping bones strong resulting in an increased risk of osteoporosis and increasing YLD
Underconsumption of dairy leads to reduced hardening of tooth enamel, leading to teeth not being as strong as they could be increasing the risk of dental caries increasing morbidity
Underconsumption of dairy (dimension of health and wellbeing)
Underconsumption of dairy can result in the underconsumption of calcium, calcium is responsible for keeping bones strong leading individuals unable to complete daily tasks negatively impacting physical health and wellbeing
High intake of fats (health status)
High intake of saturated fats leads to low-density lipoproteins resulting in high cholesterol. Atherosclerosis is the build-up of LDL on the inside of blood vessels consequently have cardiovascular diseases, which in some cases are fatal decreasing life expectancy
Eating excess saturated fats leads to increased amounts of energy which if not being burnt off through exercise leads to overweight and obesity increasing morbidity
High intake of fats (dimension of health and wellbeing)
High intake of saturated fats leads to low-density lipoproteins resulting in high cholesterol. Atherosclerosis is the build-up of LDL on the inside of blood vessels affecting the body’s ability to maintain well-functioning systems decreasing physical health and wellbeing
High intake of sugar (health status)
High intake of sugar is commonly associated with energy-dense foods, if they are not burnt off with appropriate exercise it is stored as fat which over time leads to overweight and obesity increasing morbidity
High intake of sugar provides a rich source of food for bacteria in the mouth bacteria produce acid which causes tooth decay, leading to dental caries increasing YLD
High intake of sugar (dimension of health and wellbeing)
High intake of sugar is commonly associated with energy-dense foods, if they are not burnt off with appropriate exercise it is stored as fat, increasing body mass and negatively affecting an individual’s self-esteem decreasing mental health and wellbeing
High intake of salt (health status)
High intake of salt causes fluid to be drawn out of cells and into the bloodstream. Increasing blood volume means the heart has to work harder to move the blood around the body leading to high blood pressure, resulting in hypertension increasing morbidity
High intake of salt leads to calcium being drawn out of bones causing weaker bones and resulting in osteoporosis being developed increasing YLD
High intake of salt (dimension of health and wellbeing)
High intake of salt leads to salt being filtered through the kidneys and calcium is often removed, this can lead to osteoporosis making it harder to perform daily tasks decreasing physical health and wellbeing
Underconsumption of fibre (health status)
Underconsumption of fibre (dimension of health and wellbeing)
