There are five main factors that influence health: genetics, behavior, socioeconomic status, environment, and institutional/social factors. Genetics can predict genetic risks and the causes of diseases. Behaviors like physical activity are also influential as several studies have shown they increase brain function and nourishment. Environmental factors, socioeconomic status, and institutional/social settings all impact individual and community health outcomes.

Children and health
The document discusses healthy eating and exercise plans for children. It recommends that children eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and lean meats to reduce disease risk later in life. Healthy eating plans also teach portion control. The document also stresses the importance of daily physical activity for burning calories and improving stress, sleep, bone strength, and energy levels. It provides three references on healthy eating indexes, barriers to healthy eating, and school health guidelines.
MINDBRAIN 2016 POSTER_KR_RNfinal
This study examined how adverse childhood experiences (ACES) and current life stressors during pregnancy affect maternal health. 45 pregnant women were assessed for ACES, current stressors, and health conditions. ACES were significantly correlated with current health conditions, while current stressors were not. Even after accounting for current stressors, ACES had a trend-level relationship with poorer maternal health. The findings suggest childhood trauma continues to impact maternal health in pregnancy, demonstrating the importance of addressing ACES for pregnant women's well-being.
Paradigm Shifts
This document discusses shifting healthcare paradigms from intervention to prevention through embracing wellness. It outlines key aspects of wellness like quality sleep, nutrition, and stress management. Integrative medicine is presented as combining conventional and alternative approaches for safer and more effective remedies. The wellness movement is gaining traction as baby boomers prioritize health and companies implement workplace wellness programs. Overall it advocates an increased focus on preventative healthcare through lifestyle changes and wellness practices.

This study examined body image perceptions among Mexican mothers and their kindergarten-aged children. The majority of participants were overweight or obese. Most mothers were dissatisfied with their own body size, but over half of children were satisfied with their mothers' figures. Children also tended to perceive their mothers as thinner than how the mothers perceived themselves. The results suggest that high obesity rates in Mexico may be normalizing excess weight and limiting recognition of overweight as a health risk among both children and mothers. Recommendations include family-focused health education to raise awareness of risks associated with high BMI and a balanced approach to obesity prevention that promotes health rather than weight loss.

This document discusses the importance of childhood nutrition and outlines some key dangers and factors related to early childhood obesity. It notes that almost a quarter of American children are already overweight by age 3 and discusses how marketing of unhealthy foods, eating environments that promote fast eating, and lack of parental nutritional education can negatively impact a child's health and weight. The document emphasizes that working with parents through nutritional counseling and education on healthy food choices, physical activity, and positive eating habits can help reverse unhealthy weight gain trends and behaviors in children.
Genes and Your Body
Although diet and exercise play important roles in determining one's body type, the genes we inherit from our parents also help shape who we are.

God is good (for you)
The document discusses the relationship between spirituality and wellness. It addresses how spiritual practices and beliefs in God can positively impact physical and emotional health. Regular spiritual activities are argued to provide benefits like hope, a coping mechanism, and stress relief. The document also notes that when people's spiritual needs are met, they tend to be healthier. It acknowledges there is debate on these issues in the medical community and that beliefs are personal, but encourages supporting the spiritual practices of others.
Poster for Symposium
This document summarizes research on the parental role in childhood obesity. It finds that parents should:
1. Monitor their child's eating habits, exercise, screen time, and weight.
2. Educate both themselves and their child on healthy habits.
3. Intervene by joining community health programs and enforcing restrictions.
Issues of maternal and child health
Maternal and child health issues can be influenced by several factors such as lifestyle, socio-cultural aspects, nutrition, psychology, gender, sexuality, and maternal age. Key issues include maternal age increasing risks of pregnancy complications; gender discrimination affecting care for female babies; and nutrition playing a critical role in pregnancy outcomes but being impacted by poverty and busy schedules. Socio-cultural factors like religious beliefs, views of pregnancy, and concerns for modesty also influence maternal health behaviors and utilization of prenatal care services.

Understanding Behavioral Risk Factors in High-Deductible Health Plans 4 29 11Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics
This study analyzed data from the 2007 Health Tracking Household Survey to examine associations between enrollment in high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) and behavioral risk factors like obesity and smoking. The results showed lower overall rates of obesity and smoking among HDHP enrollees compared to traditional plan enrollees. However, these associations varied depending on the potential for individuals to self-select their health plans. There were no associations found among those without a choice of plans. Negative associations between HDHP enrollment and risk factors were only seen among those able to self-select, suggesting the associations may be driven by selection effects rather than the plans themselves promoting healthier behaviors.Relationship Between Maternal Weight and Child Respiratory Problems
The study investigated the relationship between maternal weight and child respiratory problems through a literature review of 15 research articles. The results demonstrated that high prepregnancy weight, pregnancy weight, and weight gain during pregnancy are positively associated with poor child respiratory outcomes like wheezing, asthma, and bronchitis. Maternal overweight or obesity during pregnancy, whether before or during pregnancy, was linked to increased risk of poor respiratory outcomes in offspring. Further research is needed to better understand this relationship and inform recommendations for pregnant women.

Educational level, sex and church affiliation on health seeking
This document summarizes a study that investigated the impact of educational level, sex, and church affiliation on health seeking behavior among parishioners in Makurdi, Nigeria. 448 participants were surveyed using a health seeking behavior scale. The study found that educational level and sex were statistically significant predictors of health seeking behavior, with those with higher education and females reporting higher health seeking scores. Additionally, Catholics reported higher health seeking behavior than non-Catholics. The study suggests these factors be considered to improve health policies and promote behaviors.

Factors Affecting Health
This document discusses several factors that can affect health in middle adulthood, including personality, gender, socioeconomic class, and ethnicity. It outlines risk factors for heart disease and cancer such as smoking, high blood pressure, weight, and diet. It also explores how factors like type A personality, gender differences, job status, education level, and ethnic background can influence health risks and outcomes during middle age. The information provides insight on preventing disease and is relevant for the author's nursing career in educating patients.
What influences choice 3
This document reviews factors that influence mothers in the WIC program to choose formula feeding over breastfeeding for their infants. Several studies examined found that parents who formula feed generally have less knowledge of the health benefits of breastfeeding and a less positive attitude towards it. A cohort study found that breastfed infants enrolled in WIC programs saved over $400 in expenses in their first 6 months compared to formula fed infants. A review also showed that education and support services are effective at increasing the duration of breastfeeding. The document suggests WIC programs develop policies to better promote and educate mothers on breastfeeding.

Nursing Capstone Project Proposal Example
This capstone project examined the impact of a diabetes educational program on readmission rates of baby boomers in a sub-acute nursing home setting. A needs assessment at a New York City nursing home found an increase in readmissions among baby boomers with diabetes and related complications, likely due to a lack of diabetes management knowledge. The researcher implemented a pre- and post-survey design to better understand patient and nurse knowledge before an educational program. Preliminary findings suggest diabetes education may improve management and reduce readmissions. The goal is to enhance caregiver and patient management of this complex illness through better self-care, education, exercise and eating habits.

This study examined the association between enrollment in high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) and behavioral risk factors like smoking and obesity using a nationally representative survey. The results showed lower rates of smoking and obesity among HDHP enrollees overall, but these associations varied depending on the ability to self-select plans. There was no association where plan choice was limited, but negative associations existed where self-selection was possible, suggesting these relationships may be driven more by self-selection than health-promoting effects of HDHPs.Relationships & Health By Ms. Anu Mehta
Healthy relationships are vital for health and well-being. Strong social relationships are linked to longer, healthier lives, as people with strong relationships are 50% less likely to die prematurely. Having caring friends provides a buffer against stress, and those with strong relationships recover faster from stressful tasks. Relationships also promote better health - people with strong relationships are half as likely to catch colds when exposed to viruses. Conversely, loneliness is linked to higher risks of depression, decreased immune function, higher blood pressure, and other health problems.

Heath promotion multiple
The document discusses health promotion and defines it as providing services that improve individual and community health and empower people to have more control over their own health. It aims to prevent illness through approaches like education, behavioral change, and societal change. The key aspects of health promotion discussed are promoting health/well-being, identifying and preventing illness, and maintaining health for those with chronic conditions.
School Based Health Program
Health education is important for three key reasons:
1) Health has physical, social, emotional, cognitive and spiritual dimensions that are dynamic, interrelated and interdependent.
2) Personal, social, cultural and environmental factors influence health behaviors and choices around nutrition and physical activity.
3) Individual, group and community actions that promote health strategies can address inequities and promote well-being and safety.

The Relationship between Physical Activity and Self-Efficacy in Schools
Abstract
Few studies have examined the relationship between physical activities and health outcomes among adolescents. The majority of the adult population knows much about health-risk behaviours of adolescents, and knows less about their health-promoting behaviours. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between physical activity levels and self-efficacy among adolescents.
Introduction
According to Start Active, regular physical activity associates with benefits for physical and mental health (as cited in Roberts et al, 2015). Studies have indicated that health life traits and styles have an impact on lifelong health and life quality. Childhood poor diet and physical inactivity have been risk factors for a multitude of chronic health condition in adulthood (Matthews et al, 2015). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for children, only 42% of children and 8% of adolescents achieve current recommended physical activity.
Most students studying in Hoca Ahment Yesevi University were hound to have health issues emanating from lack of physical exercise and personal fitness programs (Ozkan, 2015). Up to 70 per cent of university students are reported as not participating in regular free-time physical activity or exercise (Haase et al, 2004, as cited in Roberts et al, 2014). Simon et al (2015) mentioned that majority of the adult population fails to achieve recommended daily exercise, 30-minutes moderate intensity exercise. When physical activity is conducted regularly as the researchers found out, it is likely to improve the physical fitness of the students and generally of people and therefore contributing heavily to better healthy life styles. Achieving daily exercise was shown to promote better sleep quality and higher psychological functioning in adolescents (Kalak et al, 2012, as cited in Rew et al, 2015).
Styles and activities that promote the health of humans increase their chances of wellbeing and therefore promote healthy living. In achieving well-being in health, there must be a mentioned engagement in activities which are likely to enhance the same such as proper exercises and fitness methods. Health promotion takes quite a multidimensional structure, that is, intellectual, mental, physical and social and therefore a number of behaviours which are meant at promoting behaviours are identified by health professionals and other researchers. These behaviours include life appreciation, stress management, health responsibility, social support, exercise and better nutrition. Therefore a general conclusion is arrived at that physical activity and exercise have an impact on the quality of human life and can actually aid its improveme.
Factors Influencing Health .pptx
This document discusses factors that influence health, including genetic makeup, environment, lifestyle, socioeconomic conditions, education, occupation, and health services. It categorizes these factors and provides examples of how each can positively or negatively impact an individual's health status. For instance, genetic makeup can determine physical and mental traits through inherited genes, while socioeconomic status influences health through access to nutrition, sanitation, and medical care. The document concludes that all of these determinants interact to impact an individual, family, and community's overall health.
Health psychology
Health psychology is a specialty area that focuses on how biology, psychology, behavior, and social factors influence health and illness.
health related behaviour ( المحاضرة الخامسة).pptx
This document discusses health-related behaviors from several perspectives. It defines health behaviors as actions that affect health or mortality, either positively or negatively. Examples include diet, physical activity, substance use, and medical treatment adherence. The document then examines health behaviors through a social determinants lens, noting how societal institutions and inequalities influence behaviors. It also explores biosocial processes like embodiment and biological embedding that integrate social and biological factors over the life course. The document emphasizes that health behaviors reflect interactions between individuals and their environmental contexts.
Types of good and preserving health
This document discusses different types of health, including physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and financial health. It explains that overall health is influenced by genetic, environmental, social, and behavioral factors. Maintaining wellness involves eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, getting preventive health screenings, managing stress, social connection, and having a positive outlook. The best way to preserve health is through an ongoing healthy lifestyle rather than only addressing health issues once sickness occurs.
Addressing Social Determinants of Health Among Adolescents and Young Adults: ...
Addressing Social Determinants of Health Among Adolescents and Young Adults: ...Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies
Disparities in health outcomes are a result of a myriad of socio-ecological factors that are linked to education, employment, income, discrimination based on race/ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, geographic location, mental health and/or disability. These factors are commonly referred to as social determinants of health (SDOH). The World Health Organization defines SDOH as the conditions in which people are born, grow up, work and live and the structures and systems that shape the daily conditions of life. There has been a great deal of research focused on SDOH in the past decade that is critical to informing policy and practice necessary to promote health equity. However, it is also important to acknowledge that this concept is not new. Unacceptable health disparities remain despite substantial evidence, over the past century, which shows SDOH are at the root cause of health disparities.Introduction to Public Health course for Health Officer Students
This document provides an overview of concepts in public health. It discusses definitions of health from different perspectives, determinants of health, and models of disease causation. The history of public health and key developments are described. Public health is defined as working to prevent disease, prolong life, and promote health through organized community efforts. The core activities and disciplines of public health include health promotion, epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, and social and behavioral sciences. Clinical medicine focuses on individual patients while public health addresses the health of entire populations.
Health Education - Meaning, Definition, Concept, Factors Influencing Health
The document covers topics such as health, health education, their meanings, definitions, importance, concepts, factors influencing health, and types of health. It will be beneficial for students studying health education, particularly those enrolled in the DNHE (Diploma in Health Education) program or BSc. Physical Education students. The material was compiled by Ms. Rabiya Husain, a lecturer at IGIPESS, University of Delhi.
Health
Health has many definitions including the absence of disease, a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and the ability to cope with daily life. It is influenced by internal factors like genetics, age, and psychological state as well as external factors in the environment, family/culture, socioeconomic status, and access to healthcare.
