Population health aims to improve the health outcomes of entire groups through considering factors like air, water, and soil pollution that affect populations locally and globally. It is defined as the health outcomes within a group, including the distribution of those outcomes. The term "think globally, act locally" means that environmental factors impacting the world's health are the same as those impacting personal health, as air pollution causes lung disease, chemicals in soil enter the food chain, and water pollution harms both humanity and the planet.

Obesity and Inherent Costs
Obesity rates in the United States have been steadily increasing by approximately 1.1% each year, with the current rate of obese and overweight Americans being roughly 65.1%. Treating obesity-related diseases like various cancers, diabetes, and heart disease costs an estimated $277 billion in 2007 or $310 billion in 2012 when adjusted for inflation. This treatment cost is only a fraction of the total cost of obesity, which includes lost productivity from absenteeism and presenteeism as well as additional transportation and infrastructure costs. Presenteeism occurs when obese or ill workers are less productive at their jobs. Absenteeism results in missed workdays for treatment or illness. Studies show overweight and obese individuals miss more workdays per month
Tidal flooding and quality of life in semarang
The rise of the sea water level combined with land subsidence has created serious problems for Semarang’s coastal area. Furthermore, what seems initially to be an environmental problem has set off additional problems: physical, economical, social, health and psychological. These, unquestionably, have had negative consequences on the quality of life of the people.

This document summarizes key findings from the IPCC report on climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability in Asia. It finds that Asia faces several risks from climate change, including increased flooding, drought, food insecurity, water scarcity, and spread of diseases. Adaptation options discussed include integrated water management, disaster risk reduction, coastal protection, and diversifying livelihoods. The report concludes there is low confidence in precipitation projections for Asia and adaptation must be tailored to local needs given varying climate hazards and vulnerabilities across the region.
Key Message - Climate Change Adaptation: Focus on Nepal and South Asia
This document summarizes key messages from the IPCC report on climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability in Asia. It finds that Asia faces several increased risks from climate change in the near and long term, including flooding, drought, food and water shortages, diseases, and damage to ecosystems. However, adaptation measures can help reduce these risks, such as improved disaster management, water resources management, and developing more resilient crops. Effective adaptation takes into account unique regional and local vulnerabilities and circumstances.

This document discusses various concepts and dimensions of global health. It begins by providing context on the rise of the term "global health" and some existing definitions. It then discusses key aspects of global health such as its history, current definitions, and whether it is primarily a concern of high-income countries. Some key points made include: the field is interdisciplinary and addresses health issues that transcend national boundaries; there are debates around distinguishing global health from related terms like public health and international health; and while disease burdens are highest in low/middle-income countries, most global health centers are located in high-income countries. The document advocates for a collaborative, transnational approach to research and action aimed at promoting health for all.

Global health is an emerging field that draws from public health and international health. While these fields share similarities like a focus on populations and prevention, global health is distinct in that it addresses health issues that transcend national borders and involve multiple countries and disciplines. The document presents a definition of global health agreed upon by an international panel as "an area for study, research, and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide." It emphasizes transnational health problems and solutions, an interdisciplinary approach, and a balance of population-based prevention and individual clinical care.
The Field of Health Communication (Up to Date Report).pdf
This document summarizes the development of health communication as a field over the past 25 years. It begins by describing the Stanford Heart Disease Prevention Program in 1971 as a seminal project that applied communication strategies to promote preventive health behaviors. Since then, the field has grown substantially, establishing university centers, securing research funding, and contributing to more effective health promotion campaigns.

Intro to public health 1
The document discusses several topics related to public health. It defines health using the WHO definition of complete physical, mental and social well-being. It defines public health as organized measures to prevent disease and promote health for entire populations. It also describes the three types of prevention as primary, secondary and tertiary. Finally, it outlines various determinants of health that can influence individuals and communities, including physical environment, social environment, genetic inheritance, health behaviors and health care.
Health Promotion and health policy merged.pdf
This document discusses principles and actions related to health promotion. It provides background on population growth in the past 200 years and factors that contributed to declines in mortality, such as reduced infectious disease mortality due to improved sanitation and nutrition. Key conferences and frameworks for health promotion are summarized, including the Ottawa Charter which outlined five action areas for health promotion: developing healthy public policy, creating supportive environments, strengthening community action, developing personal skills, and reorienting health services. An example is given of how these different action areas could be applied to reduce smoking. Models of health and definitions of health by the WHO are also briefly discussed.
Health Promotion and health policy merged.pdf
This document discusses principles and actions of health promotion. It summarizes the McKeown thesis which argues that the major decline in mortality from infectious diseases in industrialized countries was primarily due to improvements in standards of living like better nutrition and sanitation, rather than medical treatment. It also discusses the Lalonde report which identified four determinants of health beyond just healthcare: human biology, environment, lifestyle, and healthcare organization. Major global conferences like Alma-Ata and Ottawa Charter emphasized health promotion and primary healthcare. The Ottawa Charter defined five action areas of health promotion: build healthy public policy, create supportive environments, strengthen community action, develop personal skills, and reorient health services.
Federal register051410
The document presents a strategic framework for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to improve health outcomes for individuals with multiple chronic conditions. Approximately 75 million Americans have two or more chronic illnesses like arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease. These individuals face higher costs, worse health outcomes, and complex care needs. The framework aims to shift care from focusing on single diseases in isolation to a holistic approach that addresses all of a person's conditions. It establishes goals, objectives, and strategies for HHS agencies to better coordinate care, research, and policies related to multiple chronic conditions.
Determinants of Health.docx
Determinants of health include socioeconomic factors, physical environment, and individual characteristics and behaviors. Socioeconomic determinants like income, education, and social status significantly impact health. Environmental factors such as air pollution, natural disasters, and lack of access to clean water and sanitation also influence health outcomes. Individual lifestyle choices and access to healthcare further determine levels of health and illness. Addressing the social and economic root causes through integrated global and national policies can help reduce health inequalities worldwide.
Dr loeppke uspm outcomes impact study webinar presentation final 11 2-10
The document discusses the value of health and prevention. It notes that the rising costs of healthcare are driven by increasing illness and risk factors in the population. Chronic diseases account for most health spending and are often preventable through healthy behaviors like not smoking, diet, and exercise. The document advocates for integrated population health solutions that focus on prevention and wellness. It argues that promoting a culture of health through aligned incentives can help consumers, employers, and insurers. Prevention can reduce costs and improve productivity by decreasing health risks.

Social justice and addressing disproportionate impacts on marginalized groups are core principles of public health.
1. Describe why climate change is an evolving practice and.docx
1. Describe why climate change is an evolving practice and concept of Environmental Health. What are two (2) examples of how climate change is related to and impacts Environmental Health? Describe how you view your role in communicating this complex environmental issue to your patients/stakeholders/community. Use only the space provided below (i.e. Pgs. 1 & 2).
WHY CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN EVOLVING PART OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. Climate change is an evolving practice owing to the ever-changing challenges that it presents – like what challenges????. Increasing temperatures, extreme weather events and rising sea levels all pose environmental health challenges….. In spite of the fact that the climate is changing, there are a lot of new emerging issues (increasing temperatures and rising sea levels) that may render previous studies useless (McMichael, 2013). The ability to keep abreast with climate change therefore requires a dynamic approach that adapts to the current issues. Climate change is an indisputable fact, and our health will be affected by it. Fortunately, society is becoming aware of this serious problem, and the answer should be together, individually and collectively. The way in which we have to deal with the climate change in the coming years will determine whether it has either a greater or else lesser impact on our health (McMichael, 2013).
TWO EXAMPLES OF HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. During the past few years, The repercussions of climate change go beyond the purely socio-economicit has shown that climate change is a reality that affects health. Its repercussions are beyond the purely socio-economic and political dimensions, and we are beginning to be aware of the potential impact on human health. We are constantly exposed to pollution that may be detrimental to our health, both immediately and long term. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 23% of deaths occurring in the world are related in some way to the environmental health issues (McMichael, 2013). For instance, Cholera: The so-called 'disease of the poor' is a disorder caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, 'which is very easily transmitted by contaminated water and food. Restricted to developing countries, the widespread increase in water temperatures anticipates an increase in the incidence of this disease, which is characterized by severe vomiting, cramps and diarrhea and can even cause death. In addition, diseases arising from malnutrition are also on the rise owing to the lack of favorable climate to sustain the growing of various crops that supply the nutrients. Therefore, the human being is left to evolve to stop attacking the environment in which they live and by being able to manage climate change.

Health Promotion and health policy merged.pdf
This document discusses principles and actions related to health promotion. It provides background on population growth in the past 200 years and factors that contributed to declines in mortality, such as reduced infectious disease mortality due to improved sanitation and nutrition. Key conferences and frameworks for health promotion are summarized, including the Ottawa Charter which outlined five action areas for health promotion: developing healthy public policy, creating supportive environments, strengthening community action, developing personal skills, and reorienting health services. An example is given of how these different action areas could be applied to reduce smoking. Models of health and definitions of health by the WHO are also briefly discussed.
Health Promotion and health policy merged.pdf
This document discusses principles and actions of health promotion. It summarizes the McKeown thesis which argues that the major decline in mortality from infectious diseases in industrialized countries was primarily due to improvements in standards of living like better nutrition and sanitation, rather than medical treatment. It also discusses the Lalonde report which identified four determinants of health beyond just healthcare: human biology, environment, lifestyle, and healthcare organization. Major global conferences like Alma-Ata and Ottawa Charter emphasized health promotion and primary healthcare. The Ottawa Charter defined five action areas of health promotion: build healthy public policy, create supportive environments, strengthen community action, develop personal skills, and reorient health services.

The document presents a strategic framework for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to improve health outcomes for individuals with multiple chronic conditions. Approximately 75 million Americans have two or more chronic illnesses like arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease. These individuals face higher costs, worse health outcomes, and complex care needs. The framework aims to shift care from focusing on single diseases in isolation to a holistic approach that addresses all of a person's conditions. It establishes goals, objectives, and strategies for HHS agencies to better coordinate care, research, and policies related to multiple chronic conditions.
Determinants of Health.docx
Determinants of health include socioeconomic factors, physical environment, and individual characteristics and behaviors. Socioeconomic determinants like income, education, and social status significantly impact health. Environmental factors such as air pollution, natural disasters, and lack of access to clean water and sanitation also influence health outcomes. Individual lifestyle choices and access to healthcare further determine levels of health and illness. Addressing the social and economic root causes through integrated global and national policies can help reduce health inequalities worldwide.
Dr loeppke uspm outcomes impact study webinar presentation final 11 2-10
The document discusses the value of health and prevention. It notes that the rising costs of healthcare are driven by increasing illness and risk factors in the population. Chronic diseases account for most health spending and are often preventable through healthy behaviors like not smoking, diet, and exercise. The document advocates for integrated population health solutions that focus on prevention and wellness. It argues that promoting a culture of health through aligned incentives can help consumers, employers, and insurers. Prevention can reduce costs and improve productivity by decreasing health risks.

1. Describe why climate change is an evolving practice and.docx
1. Describe why climate change is an evolving practice and concept of Environmental Health. What are two (2) examples of how climate change is related to and impacts Environmental Health? Describe how you view your role in communicating this complex environmental issue to your patients/stakeholders/community. Use only the space provided below (i.e. Pgs. 1 & 2).
WHY CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN EVOLVING PART OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. Climate change is an evolving practice owing to the ever-changing challenges that it presents – like what challenges????. Increasing temperatures, extreme weather events and rising sea levels all pose environmental health challenges….. In spite of the fact that the climate is changing, there are a lot of new emerging issues (increasing temperatures and rising sea levels) that may render previous studies useless (McMichael, 2013). The ability to keep abreast with climate change therefore requires a dynamic approach that adapts to the current issues. Climate change is an indisputable fact, and our health will be affected by it. Fortunately, society is becoming aware of this serious problem, and the answer should be together, individually and collectively. The way in which we have to deal with the climate change in the coming years will determine whether it has either a greater or else lesser impact on our health (McMichael, 2013).
TWO EXAMPLES OF HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. During the past few years, The repercussions of climate change go beyond the purely socio-economicit has shown that climate change is a reality that affects health. Its repercussions are beyond the purely socio-economic and political dimensions, and we are beginning to be aware of the potential impact on human health. We are constantly exposed to pollution that may be detrimental to our health, both immediately and long term. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 23% of deaths occurring in the world are related in some way to the environmental health issues (McMichael, 2013). For instance, Cholera: The so-called 'disease of the poor' is a disorder caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, 'which is very easily transmitted by contaminated water and food. Restricted to developing countries, the widespread increase in water temperatures anticipates an increase in the incidence of this disease, which is characterized by severe vomiting, cramps and diarrhea and can even cause death. In addition, diseases arising from malnutrition are also on the rise owing to the lack of favorable climate to sustain the growing of various crops that supply the nutrients. Therefore, the human being is left to evolve to stop attacking the environment in which they live and by being able to manage climate change.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptx
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

Population health one area at a time
- 1. Population Health-One Area ay a Time by Glenn D. Meyers, M.D., Knoxville, TN Internist, Cardiologist, Healthcare Administration, Focusing on VBC and Population Health
- 2. Definitions Population Health Defined: “The health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group". It’s main goal is to improve the health of an entire human population. The term "Think globally, act locally" Defined: The factors effecting our world’s environment are the same as those effecting our personal health. Air pollution causes lung disease and cancers. Chemicals in our soil end up in our food and cause population health problems. Polluting our water is yet another factor that hurts both the planet and the human race.
