1) Key determinants of health include income, social status, social support networks, education, employment, physical and social environments, genetics, personal health practices, child development, and access to health services. 2) Low income can negatively impact health in several ways such as limiting ability to access shelter, food, and participate in society which can cause stress; lower socioeconomic status at both the individual and societal level is linked to poorer health. 3) Within Canada, those living in the poorest neighborhoods face higher risks of death from diseases like cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses compared to more affluent areas. Infant mortality is also higher in low-income urban neighborhoods.

World Population And Poverty
Presentations analyzes causes of poverty and other problems in the developing Asian and African countries.
Poverty
The document discusses definitions of poverty. The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) defines the poor as individuals and families whose income falls below the poverty threshold, which is the minimum income needed to pay for basic needs. The current poverty threshold in the Philippines for a family of five is 10,481 pesos per month. While poverty is often discussed in terms of income, the document also notes that quality of life is an important part of understanding poverty. Living in poverty can mean lack of access to quality education, healthcare, food, shelter and more.
Population and poverty
Poverty has many contributing factors beyond just population growth. While population growth exacerbates poverty, other issues like income inequality, weak economic growth, and high fertility rates, especially among the poor, also contribute. An adequately funded family planning program that provides access to contraception could help address these issues and reduce poverty in a way that benefits women, families, and society.
Poverty in india
Poverty in India is defined as a lack of financial resources to meet basic needs. Factors contributing to poverty include precarious livelihoods, exclusion, physical limitations, gender inequality, insecurity, social problems, weak community organizations, and limited capabilities. Characteristics of poverty in India include poor health, hunger, low levels of education, and inadequate housing. Steps proposed to address poverty include increasing employment, raising wages, sustaining social programs, providing paid leave, reforming the criminal justice system, investing in childcare and education, and reforming immigration policies.
Socio economics and the developing person
This document discusses the effects of poverty on physical, social, and cognitive development. It notes that those living in poverty often have higher mortality rates, less access to healthcare, more disease, lower productivity, and less educational and career stability. Specific data is provided on the number of people living in poverty in the US and Louisiana, including many children. Poverty is associated with worse health outcomes like obesity and malnutrition. It also negatively impacts educational achievement and attainment. Lower levels of education then translate to lower average income levels. The document concludes by noting the high costs to both individuals and society of dropping out of high school.
Disasters and the cycle of poverty
DISASTERS AND THE CYCLE OF POVERTY: UNDERSTANDING URBAN, RURAL, AND GENDER ASPECTS OF SOCIAL VULNERABILITY by Kathy Lynn, Associate Director Resource Innovations, University of Oregon’s Institute for a Sustainable Environment September 2005
Poverty, over population and malnutrition cycle
Poverty, overpopulation, and malnutrition are linked in a destructive cycle. Poverty leads to poor health, low productivity, and high birth rates, exacerbating overpopulation. Overpopulation strains resources, reducing food security and leading to malnutrition. Malnutrition worsens health and increases mortality rates, perpetuating poverty. Together these factors trap populations in multigenerational deprivation as the conditions of one generation increase the risks for the next. Breaking this cycle requires addressing the socioeconomic drivers of poor health, nutrition, and large family sizes through education, family planning programs, and policies that promote sustainable development.
Health inequalities
The document discusses definitions of poverty and health inequalities. It defines poverty as lacking resources to participate in activities that are customary or approved in one's society. Absolute poverty is defined as lacking resources to escape deprivation. Studies show people living in more deprived areas have lower life expectancies. Health inequalities are linked to social conditions, as people with higher socioeconomic status have more opportunities and better health. Reducing education failure, insecurity, unemployment, and improving living standards can help reduce deprivation and create a healthier society.

Poverty in Pakistan
The document discusses poverty in Pakistan, defining it as a lack of resources to afford basic needs. It provides statistics showing that about 58.7 million Pakistanis, or 1/3 of the population, live below the poverty line, with the highest rates in Balochistan and Sindh. Common causes of poverty in Pakistan are identified as overpopulation, unemployment, lack of education, poor government policies, inflation, corruption, and political instability. The government has implemented some programs to address poverty but more efforts are still needed such as job creation and skills training.
Effects of poverty
Poverty is defined as a lack of material possessions necessary to live a decent quality of life. In the Philippines, over 22 million people, more than one-fifth of the population, live below the national poverty line. Poverty has negative impacts on health and development, as those living in poverty experience worse physical and mental health outcomes and are at higher risk for unhealthy behaviors. Poverty also affects children's growth and development both physically and cognitively. While some believe poverty can be overcome through hard work alone, reports show many Filipinos work hard yet remain in poverty due to unstable socioeconomic conditions.
poverty
This document discusses the causes of poverty in Pakistan. It identifies several key causes, including unemployment, inflation, corruption, poor governance, overpopulation, a backward agricultural system, and child labor. Unemployment is a major issue, with over 30 million unemployed, and inflation is also a problem as prices have risen significantly. Corruption and unequal distribution of resources also contribute to poverty. Poor governance, law and order issues, a lack of education, and other factors perpetuate poverty in Pakistan.

Clps summer school workshop
This document discusses socioeconomic inequality and poverty in the UK. It defines poverty broadly as a deprivation of resources, capabilities, and human dignity. Poverty violates human rights and basic capabilities. The document provides statistics on income inequality and financial insecurity in the UK. It examines regional divides, with higher poverty in northern regions. Poverty impacts health, education, social participation, and equality. It reduces life expectancy and costs the UK economy billions each year.
Citizenship 2 project
This document discusses poverty, including its causes, effects, and perpetuating cycle. It defines absolute and relative poverty. The causes of poverty discussed include theories that blame the poor's behaviors and mindsets. The effects of poverty on children include higher rates of health, developmental, educational, and behavioral problems. Poverty also increases stress on families and risk of abuse. The cycle of poverty occurs when those in poverty lack the resources to escape it, trapping individuals and families in long-term deprivation.
Vulnerable population
This document discusses the vulnerable homeless population and their health concerns. It defines four categories of homelessness and estimates that over 1.5 million people are homeless in the US. The homeless have less access to healthcare and are more likely to experience health issues like substance abuse, malnutrition, hypertension, and frostbite/hypothermia. The demographics of the homeless population are also described, with most being adult males between 31-61 years old. The document calls for improvements like more affordable housing, jobs, healthcare access, and counseling services to help address the needs of this vulnerable group.
Social dimension - Causes of Poverty
Corruption, lack of education, environmental degradation, lack of employment opportunities, armed conflicts, inequitable distribution of wealth and resources, overconsumption, greed, and an inequitable political system are listed as causes of poverty. Solutions proposed include creating good jobs, improving access to education and healthcare, raising wages, microfinancing, increasing transparency in government spending, and canceling national debts.
Causes and Effects of Poverty
This document discusses poverty, including its causes, effects, and the poverty cycle. It defines absolute and relative poverty. The causes of poverty discussed include theories that the poor have little concern for the future or engage in self-defeating behaviors. The effects of poverty on children include higher rates of health problems, accidents, and missed school. Poverty also increases stress levels in families. The cycle of poverty refers to how poverty can span generations as those in poverty lack the resources to escape it.
Poverty
Poverty can be defined as the lack of basic human needs like food, shelter, and clothing. It can be understood as either an absolute lack of resources or as relative deprivation compared to others in one's community. There are various ways to measure poverty, including the headcount ratio, poverty gap index, and squared poverty gap index. The headcount looks just at those below the poverty line, while the other indices consider how far below the line people fall. Reducing poverty requires increasing access to necessities like food, healthcare, education, as well as growing personal incomes and controlling overpopulation.
Vulnerable Population
The document discusses immigrants as a vulnerable population in the United States. It defines immigrants as legal alien residents who have petitioned for permission to enter the country and seek naturalization. Immigrants face challenges related to differences in culture, healthcare access, and fear of deportation for illegal immigrants. Federal laws like the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 govern immigration and the process for gaining citizenship. As advocates, community health nurses should provide care that is sensitive to patients' cultural views and help address issues like language barriers, abuse/neglect, and stress-related disorders.
Poverty and its types
This document discusses poverty and its types. It defines absolute poverty as a severe deprivation of basic human needs including food, water, shelter, and access to education. Absolute poverty is measured as living on less than $1.90 per day. Relative poverty is defined as a lack of resources compared to other members of a society and differs across countries and over time. The document provides statistics on the number of people living in poverty globally and describes the two major types of poverty as absolute and relative.
Poverty Workshop 2009

Poverty: The Growing Wealth Divide
This venture was started to create awareness about the growing poverty in our world which is partially due to globalization and the wealth cycle. We hope to help others by spreading awareness such that even if we may not be able to contribute directly to those who are impoverished, we can catch the attention of those who can.
Challenges To The Public Health Movement
This document discusses the relationship between poverty, development, and health challenges from a public health perspective. It argues that poverty and inequality are major determinants of both development and health globally. Corporate globalization and neoliberal economic policies have exacerbated inequalities and negatively impacted livelihoods, incomes, and access to necessities like food, water, and healthcare. It calls for addressing the deeper social and economic determinants of health through a global people's movement working across multiple levels to advocate for more equitable policies and a human rights-based approach to development.
Proverty
Poverty is the lack of basic necessities like food, water, shelter, education and healthcare. Third world countries, located mostly in Africa, Asia and Latin America, have high rates of poverty. Four factors that cause poverty in third world countries are income inequality, conflicts, natural disasters, and lack of education and healthcare access. Poverty has major impacts like hunger, lack of sanitation, high birth rates, unemployment, and social issues. Bangladesh is used as an example, with 13% of its 165 million people living below $2 per day. Reducing poverty requires job creation, income redistribution, skills training, and microcredit programs.
Modernism vs postmodernism (3)
This document contrasts modernism and postmodernism. It discusses key aspects of modernism like structure, order, efficiency and the role of science and technology. Henry Ford and his assembly line production model are provided as an example. However, modernism taken to an extreme as seen in Hitler's regime and the consequences of WWII and the Cold War led to issues that caused people to reject certain ideas of modernism, contributing to the rise of postmodernism.
Soc. 101 rw ch. 3
This document outlines various sociological research methods including the scientific method, ethnography, interviews, surveys, and experiments. It discusses how each method is used to study social phenomena, their advantages and disadvantages, and issues in sociological research related to objectivity, reactivity, and separating facts from values. The scientific method provides a structured approach using hypotheses, data collection, analysis, and conclusions. Ethnography involves observing people in their natural environments while interviews and surveys collect self-reported data through conversation or questionnaires. Experiments aim to isolate variables and test causal relationships through manipulation of conditions.
Crime Control Model
This document proposes an Advanced Crime Control Model for Pakistan with 6 key stakeholders: citizens, police, criminal courts, jails, citizen-police liaison groups, and inclusion of parliament and media as partners. The model aims to more effectively control crime through fair evaluation of criminal intent and incidents, arrest and sentencing of criminals, and awarding citizens, police, and lawyers. It is presented as an improvement over the basic 4 stakeholder model due to lower reported crime prevalence with the additional groups and oversight.

Dustin's project
The document discusses the difference between gender and sex. While sex is defined by biological characteristics, gender is defined by how one views themselves. The author conducted a poll asking about the difference between gender and sex, and found that only one out of eleven respondents knew the true difference, showing that society has not adequately explained the distinction. The author believes that through continued work over generations, more people can learn the difference between gender and sex.

Chapter 11 Sex And Gender
Gender stratification refers to the unequal access to power, prestige and property that males and females experience based on their sex. Sex is defined as the biological characteristics that distinguish females and males, while gender refers to the behaviors and attitudes that a society considers appropriate for each sex. People are born with their sex but learn their gender through socialization.
Approaches to social problems
This document outlines several approaches to understanding social problems from a sociological perspective. It discusses the value-conflict approach, deviant behavior approach, labeling approach, social pathology approach, social disorganization approach, and institutional approach. For each approach, it describes the key concepts, causes, consequences, and potential solutions. It also summarizes the five main contributions sociologists can make in understanding and addressing social problems, such as measuring conditions, attitudes, applying sociological imagination, identifying interventions, and evaluating policy consequences.
Gender Stratification
Gender stratification refers to the unequal distribution of wealth, power and privilege between men and women in society. Gender is defined by the cultural meanings attached to being male or female. Because society gives more power and resources to men, gender is an important dimension of social stratification. People learn their gender identities and roles through socialization by families, peers, schools and media, which reinforce cultural definitions of masculinity and femininity.
Sociological perspectives
This document discusses three major sociological perspectives - functionalist, conflict, and symbolic interactionist. The functionalist perspective views society as a system of interrelated parts that function together harmoniously. The conflict perspective sees society as constantly changing due to struggles over limited resources. The symbolic interactionist perspective focuses on how people use symbols to develop views of the world and create society through social interaction. Each perspective offers a different level of analysis - macro, micro, or both - for understanding a sociological issue like homelessness.
Bba L13 Dt Crime And Punishment
The document discusses crime and punishment. It defines crime as antisocial behavior that violates laws. It discusses several theories of crime including social, psychological, and environmental factors. It also discusses characteristics of crime such as social inequality and means of preventing crime such as probation, reformatory schools, and prisons. Theories of punishment discussed include retributive, preventive, and reformative approaches.
Demographic transition theory and Optimum Population
The document discusses demographic transition theory and optimum population. Demographic transition theory refers to the transition from high birth and death rates to lower rates as a country develops. This is demonstrated through a demographic transition model. China adopted policies like the one-child policy that led to declining fertility and a demographic transition. While China's population growth is now only 0.7% annually, India's is still higher at 1.6% and India will surpass China in population size by 2050 if trends continue. India's youth population will not outnumber older groups for decades, allowing for higher growth potential through a demographic dividend if policies support productive employment and education. The concept of optimum population refers to the best population size given ecological sustainability and carrying
Postmodernism
The document discusses key concepts and characteristics of postmodernism including:
- Fragmented and shifting identities defined by consumption rather than background.
- Borrowing of images and elements from different cultures through increased globalization and media.
- Simulacra and hyperreality where the representation or simulation of reality becomes indistinguishable from reality itself.
- Intertextuality and pastiche where new works reference and combine elements from other works and genres.
World systems theory
This document provides an overview of world systems theory, which examines how structures shape the flow of people, goods, and ideas globally. It discusses key concepts such as the core, semi-periphery, and periphery of the global economic system. World systems theory views the global economy as a single world-economy larger than any political unit, with economic relations between parts being most important. It also examines resistance to the world system, modernity, global flows of different types, and the central role of media and cultural imagination.
Social movement
Social movements are group actions focused on political or social issues in order to create or resist social change. They involve networks of individuals and organizations engaged in political or cultural conflicts based on shared identities. There are various definitions but they generally involve sustained interactions between ordinary people and those in power to make collective claims. Social movements employ tactics like protests, demonstrations, and petitions. They have historically emerged alongside broad economic and political changes. Key processes that facilitated their growth include urbanization, industrialization, education, and new communication technologies. Social movements can be classified based on their goals, methods, targets, and whether they aim to reform or radically transform society. Theories have attempted to explain their emergence and development. In India, new social movements emerged
Introduction to sociology
This document provides an introduction to sociology as the study of human society and social interaction. It defines sociology as the science of society or social phenomena. The document outlines the key topics of sociology including definitions of society, the subject matter, nature and scope of sociology. It concludes that sociology offers a way to understand the social world and trains students to think critically about human social life.
Feminism Theory
Feminist theory aims to achieve equality between sexes and address discrimination women face due to factors like class, race, sexuality, age, and impacts of war, poverty and environmental issues. There are several kinds of feminism including liberal feminism which works within existing structures, socialist feminism which emphasizes egalitarian and democratic aspects of socialism and criticizes gender-based labor division, radical feminism which seeks to change systems of male dominance and eradicate patriarchy, and post-modern feminism which argues knowledge has been constructed from a male viewpoint and rejects male-dominated narratives.
System Theory By Von Bertalanffy
The document discusses the system theory, which views organizations as sets of interconnected and interdependent parts. It describes system theory's key premises, including that organizational success relies on synergy between subsystems like departments and employees. The document outlines characteristics of system theory like boundaries and goal-directedness. It also discusses advantages like facilitating environmental interaction and disadvantages like impracticality. Finally, it explains how system theory is used in modern organizations to measure performance and interactions between individuals and departments.
Social movements
This document discusses theories of social change and social movements.

The document discusses the impact of poverty on health. It provides background on poverty and health indicators in Canada, showing that those in poverty experience higher rates of chronic disease, infant mortality, lower life expectancy, and worse mental and physical health overall. It suggests that poverty, through factors like inadequate income for nutrition and housing, is the main determinant of these health inequities. The document proposes ways for health providers to help address poverty, such as by expanding assessments of social/economic barriers patients face and connecting them to resources to improve their situations.

The document discusses the importance of proper nutrition for health promotion and disease prevention. It notes that four of the leading causes of death in the US are linked to poor nutrition, including overconsumption of high-fat and high-calorie foods and inadequate intake of fruits and vegetables. Certain populations also face nutritional challenges due to genetic predispositions, food preferences, religious restrictions, and limited access to affordable healthy foods. Both nutritional deficits and excesses can increase disease risk, so a balanced diet with sufficient vitamins and minerals is essential for health promotion.

It notes that four of the leading causes of death in the US are linked to poor nutrition and overconsumption of unhealthy foods. While nutritional needs vary between cultures, many emerging populations face challenges accessing nutritious foods due to financial constraints, lack of familiar options, or cultural habits centered around calorie-dense meals. Both nutritional deficiencies and excesses can increase disease risk, so health professionals must consider cultural factors and work to address barriers in order to empower patients to adopt balanced, healthy diets.

Social Issue: Health & Wealth
Topic:
Health & Wealth
Thesis:
The stressors of finance can have adverse effects because they can affect the development of children, create an unsafe psychological state and contribute to poor physical health.
Reasons:
1. It has been shown that a family's socioeconomic standing has a substantial bearing on the educational, vocational, and social opportunities that are made accessible to the children of that family. These factors, in turn, influence the children's long-term physical and mental health.
2. Children from families with lower earnings are less likely to be insured or have access to medications and treatments that may assist in managing chronic health conditions. This is particularly true for individuals who reside in households where there is only one parent present.
3. Children who are worse on the socioeconomic ladder are more prone to deal in a destructive way, such as by smoking or drinking excessively when they grow up, which may inflict significant harm to one's health if done to an extreme.

Quote:
"One of the consequences of the growing poor is worsening health, and the reasons are not as obvious as you might think. Yes, lower socioeconomic status (SES) means less access to health care and living in more disease-prone neighbourhoods. And, yes, as the SES ladder's lower rungs have become more populated, the number of people with medical problems has climbed. This is not merely an issue of poor health for the poor and some version of better health for everyone else. Starting with Jeff Bezos at the top, every step down the ladder is associated with worse health.” (Sapolsky, 2018, p. 62-67).
Paraphrase:
The welfare of children will deteriorate as a consequence of people falling into poverty. Children from families with lower socioeconomic positions have a lower chance of accessing medical treatment and tend to reside in locations with a higher incidence of disease (Sapolsky, 2018).
Explanation of quote selection and connection:
Children who are not perfect and battling to live in a healthy environment are likely to get ill and have difficulty affording medical treatment due to their low socioeconomic position. This is because their living conditions are not ideal. Children who come from families with a low socioeconomic status, which is often the result of financial disparity, are more likely to have physical and mental health issues.

Healthcare Issues for Children.docx
Healthcare issues for children include violence, infectious diseases, poverty, hunger, environment, education, and access to care. Violence has caused many children to lose their lives or be disabled. Infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, diarrhea and malaria have killed many children worldwide. Poverty deprives children of their rights and weakens their environment. Hunger continues to affect over 1 billion children globally through inadequate access to essential resources. Environmental factors also impact children's physical and mental development. Lack of education and access to affordable healthcare further exacerbate health challenges for children.
BPHC304 LECTURE 5.ppt
This document outlines the links between health, poverty, and economic development. It discusses how poverty can negatively impact health through limited access to healthcare, nutrition, and education. Poor health can then perpetuate poverty by reducing productivity and labor outcomes. The document reviews econometric methods for studying these relationships and summarizes evidence showing impacts of improved health on education and economic outcomes. Health expenditures and indicators vary significantly between rich and poor countries.

Literature Review Childhood Obesity
This document reviews childhood obesity in the United States. It finds that over 30% of American children are obese or overweight. Childhood obesity rates have more than tripled since 1980 and the physical and economic costs are significant. Newer interventions focus on collaborations between various organizations to change environments and enact policies that support healthy lifestyles. The costs of obesity extend beyond direct healthcare, reducing productivity and economic growth. A national effort across multiple sectors is needed to successfully address childhood obesity.
HCA450-foodinsecurityFINAL
This document discusses food insecurity in the United States. It defines food insecurity and notes that over 17 million households experience it, despite the country's wealth. Food insecurity is linked to health and developmental issues for children and causes like poverty. The document examines who is most affected by food insecurity and the physical, emotional and economic impacts. It explores reasons for food insecurity such as low incomes, unemployment, lack of access to nutritious affordable food due to food deserts, and political factors related to agriculture and subsidies.

Running head: OBESITY IN MIDWESTERN CHILDREN
Obesity in Midwestern Adolescents
NR222: Health and Wellness
January 2019
Obesity in Midwestern Adolescents
It is no secret that obesity in America is at an alarming level and although we see its prevalence in adults, we often fail to discuss its rising rates within adolescents. Children are now facing the possibility of higher mortality rates, when in reality, children should be living longer than their parents. With obesity striking Midwestern communities, this paper aims to focus on understanding why children in these communities are at a higher risk and what actions are needed to help them overcome this harmful life style. This is incredibly important in order to restore and maintain health. Children who are obese have a higher comorbidity for chronic diseases that typically only affect adults such as, type II diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia as well as psychological disorders. This stresses the importance that adolescents should be happy and healthy, not a statistic.
Target Population: Midwestern Adolescents
To be considered as this paper’s target population an individual must meet two criteria: the person must reside in the American Midwest and be an adolescent. The State of Obesity (2016-17) ranks all fifty states against one another in obesity. Although the rankings are not confined to adolescents, it highlights where midwestern states stand in relation to the rest of the United States. The lower the number next to the state, higher portion of the population is obese : 6. Ohio (18.6%), 10. Iowa (17.7%), 11. Indiana (17.5%), 12. Michigan (17.3%), 17. Illinois (16.2%), 23. Nebraska (15.5%), 31. Wisconsin (14.3%), 34. South Dakota (13.6%), 38. Kansas (13.0%), 40. Missouri (12.7%), 42. North Dakota (12.5%) and 48. Minnesota (10.4%).These statistics provide an overview of midwestern obesity, let us now turn to risk factors contributing to adolescent specific obesity. The goal of Healthy People 2020 is to increase life expectancy and quality of life. According to their website, 1 in 6 children and adolescents are obese. That number is concerning because many adolescents do not understand the consequences of their actions and how it can be detrimental later on in their adult years. Healthy People 2020 initiatives are aimed in helping adolescents in 1. achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, 2. Reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, 3. Reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer, 4. Strengthen muscles, bones and joints and 5. Improve mood and energy level (Healthy People 2020, n.d.).According to Stanford Children’s Health (n.d.),one of the biggest contributors to adolescent obesity is excessive food intake which results in a surplus of caloric intake. A diet that is high in sugar and fat, as well as processed, will result in weight gain. As busy parents tend to their kids and their extracurriculars, eating on the go often results in poor food and bev.

This document discusses a case scenario for a public health nurse researching childhood obesity in their community. The nurse has been asked to create a visual concept map identifying the community, analyzing cultural, socioeconomic, and behavioral factors influencing childhood obesity, and describing how to promote healthy behaviors to reduce obesity. The document provides resources for the nurse to use to complete their concept map, including databases, websites, guides on creating concept maps and using credible sources.
Module 1 determinants_of_health
This document discusses population health determinants and their influence on individual and population health status. It notes that factors like genetics, environment, social circumstances, and behaviors are important determinants of health. While medical care is important, these other determinants have a major influence on population disease patterns and outcomes. Addressing the root causes of health through these broader determinants will be necessary for real health improvements.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.A Classical Text Review on Basavarajeeyam

stratification and health
- 2. Key determinates of health according to Health Canada (1998a) include income and social status, social support networks, education, employment and working conditions, physical and social environments, biology and Genetic endowment, personal health practices and coping skills, healthy child development, and health services
- 3. Poverty can affect health in a number of ways. Income provides the prerequisites for health, such as shelter, food, warmth, and the ability to participate in society; living in poverty can cause stress and anxiety which can damage people’s health; and low income limits peoples choices and militates against desirable changes in behaviour (Benzeval, Judge, & Whitehead, 1995)
- 4. Socio-economic status can be measured for both individuals and society. At both levels, important links to health status seem to appear. At the individual level, for example, personal experience of poverty may be associated with poorer health. At the population level, societies with less equal distributions of income may experience worse health than those with more equal distributions of income.
- 5. Within Canada, Wilkins, Adams, and Brancker (1989) found individuals living within the poorest 20% of neighbourhoods to be more likely to die of just about every disease from which people can die of, than the more well-off. These included cancers, heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory diseases among others.
- 6. Infant mortality is generally regarded as a critical indicator of population health. In 1996, the overall Canadian infant mortality rate dropped to below 6 per 1,000 live births (from 27.3 in 1960). However, infant mortality rates are lower than average in the highest-income urban neighbourhoods (4.5 per 1,000 live births in 1991) and higher than average in the lowest-income urban neighbourhoods (7.5 per 1,000 live births). Moreover, infant mortality rates for the Aboriginal population are twice those for the non- Aboriginal population (12 per 1,000 live births in 1994).
- 7. Families who have financial resources can afford private care, Medication, and to help keep every generation of their family safer by hiring good home care, child care, and accessing resources.
- 9. A well nourished population contributes to a healthier, more productive population, lower health care and social costs, and better quality of life. Inequities in nutritional well-being exist, particularly for the socio-economically disadvantaged. Food choices are complex decisions which are influenced by a dynamic relationship between individual and environmental factors. http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/nutrition/pol/nutrition_health_agenda-nutrition_virage_sante-eng.php
- 11. Only 25% of Canadians with low incomes have dental insurance and only 45% will visit a dentist in a given year The prescription drug costs of 1 in 3 Canadians are not covered by government plans or employee benefits.
- 12. Poverty directly harms the health of those with low incomes while income inequality affects the health of all Canadians through the weakening of social infrastructure and the destruction of social cohesion It has been known for many decades that the profound improvements in health in Canada and other industrialized countries have primarily been due not to advances in medicine or health care but rather in the kind of societies in which we live.
