If you are a researcher what could be possible
reason for the changing of pattern in health
• Immunization
• Advancement of medical science
• Preventive program on health
• Lifestyle choices
If you are a researcher what could be possible
reason for the changing of pattern in health
• Leading cause of death in the 1900s
• Infectious diseases
• Faster progression, less affected by preventive individual
behaviors

• Leading cause of death in the 2000s

• Chronic diseases
• A long lasting, or recurrent, disease
• Develop, persist over time
• Affected, modified by preventive behaviors

Factors Related to Mortality

•Age
•Ethnicity
•Income
•Education
 Changes in Life Expectancy

• In 1900, life expectancy was 47.3 years

• In 2011, life expectancy was 77 years

#1 factor - decrease in infant mortality
Other factors - vaccinations, safer drinking water,
better nutrition
 Escalating Cost of Medical Care

• In the US, medical costs have increased faster than inflation

A Virus Doesn’t Always Lead to a Cold

• Sheldon Cohen’s research on colds
• Participants receive a cold virus and then quarantined
• Not all participants develop a cold
• Those who do develop a cold are more likely to have had a stressful
experience, experience fewer positive emotions, be less sociable, have
less diverse social networks than who do not develop a cold
 What is Health?
• Current view of health is the 2. biopsychosocial
model
• A disease results from a combination of
• Biological
• Psychological
• social influences

complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely
