Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I01:25

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

1.9K
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...

Preventive Healthcare Services

943
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:

Lifestyle Factors and Health

27
Lifestyle factors play a critical role in maintaining overall health and preventing chronic diseases. Key elements, such as regular physical activity, a nutritious diet, and abstinence from smoking, can significantly enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being while reducing the risk of several life-threatening conditions.
Benefits of Physical Activity
Physical activity, whether through structured exercise or casual activities like walking, biking, or dancing, is a cornerstone of a...

Teeth01:15

Teeth

247
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

1.5K
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...

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV01:26

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV

15
Stress often leads to unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating, which offer short-term relief but ultimately increase long-term health risks. These behaviors create a cycle that temporarily lowers stress levels but can result in severe long-term health consequences. Breaking these habits is essential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall well-being. Three primary changes that support better health include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake,...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Reproductive Health
  • Dental Public Health

Background:

  • Preconception health significantly impacts intergenerational outcomes.
  • Oral health is often overlooked in preconception health promotion despite its link to reproductive health.
  • Understanding preconception oral health care engagement is vital for intervention development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize preconception oral health care engagement and self-rated oral health among pregnancy planners.
  • To identify subgroups based on modifiable risk behaviors.
  • To quantify the association between these subgroups and dental care utilization/self-rated oral health.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional analysis of 6,159 US participants from the Pregnancy Study Online cohort.
  • Latent class analysis to identify behavioral subgroups.
  • Log binomial regression to assess associations with dental visits, cleanings, and self-rated oral health.

Main Results:

  • Three participant groups were identified: healthy behavior, some risk behavior, and most risk behavior.
  • Higher risk behavior groups showed significantly lower rates of dental visits and cleanings in the past year.
  • Self-rated oral health was also poorer in groups with higher risk behaviors.

Conclusions:

  • Preconception oral health care engagement is associated with other modifiable health behaviors.
  • Interventions for preconception health should integrate oral health care alongside other health behaviors.
  • Addressing oral health in the preconception period may improve overall parental and intergenerational health outcomes.
