Introduction
This report discusses some of the most important health issues. Health inequalities and
inequalities now exist in a variety of ways, and a variety of causes and policies have been
discussed. Public health organizations focus on health inequality. An important aspect of health
promotion is the promotion of public health campaigns. In this case, some important aspects and
theories have been highlighted. Epidemiology is an important process in solving health and
disease problems. Demography Health Center provides information on what to do next and
health issues.

L01. Develops an understanding of disease and ill-health and the underlying

principles behind inequalities in health

Different social groups and different people enjoy life differently in terms of health. There are
differences in health issues that occur in different ways (Potter, 2013). Health inequalities are
created by education, caste, income, occupation, gender, race, geographical area, population,
social population, etc. These have made different levels of difference. Significant factors in this
difference are health behavior, social factors, environment, etc (Remington et al., 2013). There
1
is an explanation in the explanation of health inequality that highlights the material issues and
these include pollution, shelter, physical risk, and food, etc.

(Cleary, Horsfall and Jackson, 2013)

If it is meant by a very general interpretation, then healthy means the significant difference in
human health between a particular population (Morris and Hutchinson, 2019). Such health
inequalities usually go against social norms so they must be avoided. The main reason for this
inequality is that the rights that are based on physical and mental standards are not being enjoyed
equally among the population resulting in such health inequalities (Khatua, Ray and Hansmann,
2020). The average health care system in the total population highlights the disparities in the
health of that population and also gives information about the average mortality of that
population.

Below are just four of the characteristics of communities and communities across.

 Socio-economic status - This refers to the declining population, people living in deprived
areas, and the unemployed.
 Protected - sexual orientation, race, age, gender.
 Socially Weak People - Weak immigrants, homeless people.
 Geographical Location- Here rural and urban areas are meant.

2
The main reason for health and inequality have shown by the above figure is the unequal
distribution of health and financial capacity (Haber, 2016). Which increases the level of the
polarity of a population. Some factors elaborate on health and environmental impact. That is
education, proper accommodation. The social benefits that exist and can affect the services
(Deresse, 2017). More populations also play a major role in creating inequality and poverty.

LO2. Analyses a range of strategies to promote and enhance health.

health promotion is a kind of process where the person will be more aware and control about his
health and will try to improve it further. such health behaviors go unnoticed through social life
management and environmental interventions. the main function of health promotion is to help
address sexual health awareness and personal interest challenges (Cahan, 2019). it creates a
high-quality public policy that makes the health environment efficient makes it more advanced
and strong. Some of the important tasks to emphasize for the promotion and development of
health care –

 To make health promotion and promotion more forgettable. Infrastructural and health.
Healthy environment and organization building. Develop health awareness.

 Health promotion is an important step in creating a healthy and wholesome environment

that keeps people aware of health and activities (Acharya, 2019). Some activities in
health development include:

 Informing the population about their various activities to stay healthy.

 Always support the challenges and activities that affect the health and well-being of the
people (Denny and Tomaszewski-Farias, 2017).
To focus on the people in the population who have health risks and to conduct activities for the
betterment of the health and well-being of the patient.

Health care and promotions:

3
To enable the population to control health issues and to help improve health in all ways.
Creating an overall health awareness environment in their daily activities. Such activities are to
inform the specific patient about the health risks to the patient and to improve the health and
prevent the disease (Winterstein, Mazerolle and Pitney, 2015).

The four strategies that are most important for the development of health that is discussed are:
 Healthy public policy - Since all types of people do not know about improving health and
being aware of it, a healthy public policy needs to be developed in the population where
health care is developed for all people. The effect falls. Such public policy will help to
make the people aware.
 Supportive Environment- Supportive environment plays a very important role in health
development strategy (Winkler and Utzinger, 2014). A healthy environment is an
essential part of creating a healthy environment so developing a healthy conducive
environment is essential for healthy development.
 Strengthening community activities - The activities of healthy activities and communities
that are created the need to be strengthened where each activity will have an impact on
health promotion.
 Personal Skills - Of course, personal skills are required to maintain a healthy environment
and to maintain a healthy public policy (Tjalma, 2019). Through which people
personally will be helped to create a healthy environment.

LO3- Analyses the role of epidemiology and demographics concerning public

health practice.

Epidemiology is a process or explanation in which knowledge about the prevention and control
of public health-based diseases is developed among the people. It helps to understand who the
disease is, what the issues are. This method or process is commonly used among the general
public and the cause of the disease and how it has occurred (Thomas, 2014). It is usually a type
of study that discusses how the disease occurs, how often it occurs, and why it occurs.
According to epidemiology data, patients who are suffering from the disease are used as a
disease planning plan and their indicator. According to pathology, epidemiology is a description
of an integral part of the disease.

Epidemiology is a higher aspect of science. In the event of an epidemic, the people who are still
alive and whose lives have been saved are of paramount importance to their quality of life and

4
health. Which cannot be ignored (Silberman, 2016). There is a lot of important work to be done
on such epidemics and whether there is any possibility of them in the future and this is at the
forefront of epidemiology. If there is any such epidemic in the future, it is possible to save lives
by reducing the loss of life and implementing various advance plans and effective measures. The
concept of epidemiology is also fundamental in this regard (Remington et al., 2013).
Epidemiology is used to consider the importance of what kind of disease may be at risk in the
future. It strengthens the risk factors for the disease and presents how it can be controlled by
food ingredients.

Demography is a process that is used for scientific research on populations. There are three
types of observations that are essential for case analysis. These are population distribution,
population formation, and population size (Potter, 2013). This one type of example provides a
lot of important information on population issues. Just as different types of censuses are
compiled to determine population numbers, so does population data.

In this case, the way it works on health issues is that if population issues are collected properly,
health care management will be able to manage their activities properly. Population theoretical
information is needed to establish the necessary way about health (Morris and Hutchinson,
2019). The five processes studied in the demographic process are social mobility, mortality,
migration, fertility, and marriage. By any means determines the size of the population and the
initial idea is obtained.

Some of the notable examples in demographic data are race, gender, education, employment, etc.
Such information can be easily collected effectively through surveys. In this case, education and
income can be divided into groups (Khatua, Ray and Hansmann, 2020). Such demographic data
plays a much more important role for health care organizations. Where such information is
needed to properly perform health resources and services. It also provides an idea of what kind
of planning changes can be made next.

LO4. Evaluates theories and approaches of health promotions relevant to

health issues within professional roles or work placement.

The term health promotion is a term used to refer to health education activities and social and
financial systems as well as various public health information about various basic policies.
Health promotion helps people to disregard health care and control the quality of life, where it is

5
possible to prevent and avoid various health-related problems by changing the quality of life
(Haber, 2016). It raises the aspirations of the people in this regard and highlights various
important aspects of good health through the promotion of health.

There is no doubt that health promotion relies on theory to produce effective results. By the
same token, health promotion became more and more informative (Deresse, 2017). Abe's theory
or model works as a pioneer in health promotion and health development, where different
aspects of solving health problems are evaluated. The information is used to explain various
health plans and behaviors as well as to identify and implement them in a sustainable way.

Theory of planned action

The main argument for this is that a person's health behavior depends on his or her intended
performance. In this case, a positive attitude or behavior depends on and controls the positive
subject (Denny and Tomaszewski-Farias, 2017). It provides the kind of information that gives
an idea and predictions of a person's various behaviors related to health. It helps to keep health
behaviors more conducive to the social and environmental context

Social cognitive theory

This theory considers a person’s social context and explains health behaviors by adjusting to the
person’s consciousness (Cleary, Horsfall and Jackson, 2013). This theory describes a person's
experience and perceptions of other people's actions and reactions to that person and the
environment of the person's health behaviors.

Approaches
Three types of methods are traditionally used to develop health issues (Acharya, 2019). These
include medical, where physicians play a key role in diagnosing and preventing disease.
 Behavioral change - which helps to understand health information.
 Client-centric- Clients work with health workers, from where they can learn about the
disease.
 Social change - This is an attempt to change the social environment to make it healthy
and harmonious based on society and community, not individual (Cahan, 2019).

Conclusion
The report discusses in a significant way how health organizations operate with a focus on health
epidemiology demographics. Also, health promotion is much more important to reduce health
inequality and inequality. Such activities help to make people aware and aware and help to
control health. Above all, the reduction of health inequalities and various factors in this regard
have been discussed where various information has been presented about their significant
activities.
