Aging

39
Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

12.5K
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...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.0K
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...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Indigenous Health
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Indigenous older adults experience significant health disparities.
  • Gerontological research often lacks equitable inclusion of Indigenous populations.
  • Structural inequities impact Indigenous peoples throughout their lifespan.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for the inclusion of Indigenous perspectives in gerontological research.
  • To propose policy modifications that address health inequities for Indigenous elders.
  • To center minoritized aging populations in research agendas.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of existing policy mechanisms.
  • Development of theoretical frameworks incorporating Indigenous viewpoints.
  • Proposal of modifications to Title VI of the Older Americans Act and the Indian Healthcare Improvement Act.

Main Results:

  • Existing policy frameworks require theoretical enhancement to include Indigenous perspectives.
  • Policy modifications can address structural inequities faced by Indigenous older adults.
  • Research agendas need to prioritize minoritized aging populations.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating Indigenous perspectives into theoretical frameworks is essential for equitable research.
  • Policy reform, specifically to the Older Americans Act and Indian Healthcare Improvement Act, can mitigate health disparities.
  • Centering Indigenous elders in research and policy is vital for improving health outcomes.
