Concepts of Health and Illness

Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

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...

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.6K
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...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Economics
  • Social Epidemiology

Background:

  • Health is a neglected aspect of poverty measurement.
  • Existing welfare metrics often overlook health deprivation.
  • A robust framework for 'health poverty' is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define and measure 'health poverty'.
  • To apply health poverty metrics to real-world data.
  • To identify and analyze health deprivations in specific subgroups.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) class of poverty indicators.
  • Applied FGT to cardiovascular disease risk, health status (SF-6D), and life expectancy.
  • Employed US NHANES (2005-14) and Australian HILDA (15 waves) survey data.

Main Results:

  • Observed a slight decline in high cardiovascular disease risk in the US.
  • Analyzed trends and subgroup contributions to health poverty in Australia.
  • Demonstrated the decomposability of FGT indicators for subgroup analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Health poverty measures offer crucial insights into societal health disparities.
  • These metrics can effectively highlight individuals with the worst health outcomes or highest risks.
  • Wider adoption of health poverty measures is recommended for targeted interventions.
