Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention01:26

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

14.4K
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Obesity01:24

Obesity

1.1K
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value derived from a person's weight and height, used to categorize individuals into weight ranges. It is calculated using the formula: weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Obesity is a health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue that poses health risks, often diagnosed with a BMI ≥ 30. This excess fat storage occurs when surplus dietary calories are converted into triglycerides and stored in...

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

2.0K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.7K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • The obesity epidemic is a complex, multifaceted public health issue.
  • Multilevel approaches are increasingly recognized as necessary for effective obesity prevention and reduction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct an updated literature review of multilevel interventions for obesity.
  • To assess the effectiveness of recent multilevel obesity interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of studies published between January 2016 and September 2018.
  • Inclusion of six completed studies and six protocols.

Main Results:

  • Four completed studies reported significant effects on body mass index and/or waist circumference.
  • Two studies demonstrated significant improvements in dietary habits.
  • Two studies showed significant enhancements in physical activity levels.

Conclusions:

  • Multilevel interventions demonstrate potential for addressing obesity at a population level.
  • Recent evidence supports the efficacy of integrated approaches for obesity management.
