Determinants of Health

Read the text. The World Health Organisation published some information about the determinants of health on 3 February 2017. Many factors combine together to affect the health of individuals and communities. To a large extent, factors such as the place where we live, the state of our environment, genetics, our income and education level, and our relationships with friends and family have a considerable impact on health. There are more commonly considered factors such as access to and usage of health care services. But the World Health Organisation supposes that they often have little impact on health. Determinants of health include the social and economic environment, the physical environment, the person’s individual characteristics and behaviours. These determinants or things can make people healthy or not. According to the text, mark the factors that have little influence on health.

Read the text. The conditions of people’s lives determine their health, and so blaming individuals for having poor health or crediting them with good health is inappropriate. Individuals are unlikely to be able to directly control many of the determinants of health. There are a lot of factors that influence our health: our income and social status, education, physical environment, social support networks, genetics, health services and gender. Higher income and social status are linked to better health. Low education levels, more stress and lower self-confidence are linked with poor health. Safe water and clean air, healthy workplaces, safe houses, communities and roads all contribute to better health. People in employment are healthier, particularly those who have more control over their working conditions. Greater support from families, friends and communities is linked to better health. Customs, traditions, and the beliefs of the family and community affect our health. Inheritance plays a part in determining a lifespan, healthiness and the likelihood of developing certain illnesses. Balanced eating, keeping active, smoking, drinking, life’s stresses and challenges all affect health. Access to and usage of health services that prevent and treat disease, influence health. Men and women suffer from different types of diseases at different ages. Read the statement and type True, False or Not Stated. Smoking, drinking, life’s stresses, and challenges lead to our poor health.

Read the text. Air pollution is the presence of one or more contaminants in the atmosphere, such as dust, fumes, gas, mist, odour or smoke in great quantities and duration that can be injurious to human health. The main pathway of exposure from air pollution is through the respiratory tract. Breathing in these pollutants leads to inflammation, oxidative stress, immunosuppression, and mutagenicity in cells throughout our body, impacting the lungs, heart, brain among other organs and ultimately leading to disease. Air pollution is a risk for all-cause mortality as well as specific diseases. The specific disease outcomes most strongly linked with exposure to air pollution include stroke, ischaemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, pneumonia, and cataract (household air pollution only). There is suggestive evidence also linking air pollution exposure with increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes (low-birth weight, small for gestational age), other cancers, diabetes, cognitive impairment and neurological diseases. Although there are many toxins that have adverse impacts on health, pollutants with the strongest evidence for public health concern include particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulphur dioxide (SO2). Fine particulate matter is an especially important source of health risks, as these very small particles can penetrate deep into the lungs, enter the bloodstream, and travel to organs causing systemic damages to tissues and cells. The children, elderly and pregnant women are more susceptible to air pollution-related diseases. Genetics, comorbidities, nutrition and sociodemographic factors also impact a person’s susceptibility to air pollution. Complete the sentence. The main pathway of exposure from air pollution is ____ .
