Lesson Personal Health Issues and

Concerns
1 Competency: Describes personal issues and concerns.

What’s In
Health is wealth.
It means that a fit and healthy body is the real wealth of a person. A healthy body is
free from illnesses and diseases. A person who is healthy keeps doing things that are good
for the body like eating nutritious foods, exercising, and getting enough rest and sleep.
We should be aware of personal health issues and concerns like height and weight,
vision and hearing. Knowing these issues will make us observe healthy habits and
lifestyles for us to live a healthy life.

15
 What’s New

Hearing
3. Scoliosis
Vision
4. Impacted Cerumen
Oral and Dental 5. Astigmatis

What is It

PERSONAL HEALTH AND ISSUES CONCERN

A. Issues and Concerns on Height and Weight

1. STUNTED GROWTH
This refers to the reduced growth and development of the
body parts and skills associated with certain body parts.

2. UNDERWEIGHT
- is a term describing a person whose body weight is
considered too low to be healthy.

3. OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY

are defined as ''abnormal or excessive fat accumulation
that presents a risk to health'' associated with certain body
parts

16
B. Issues and Concerns on Hearing

Ear wax, also called cerumen, is made by the body to protect

the ears. The ear wax has both lubricating and antibacterial
properties. If it is pushed against the eardrum by cotton buds
or hairpins, it blocks the ear canal and causes hearing
problems. If impacted cerumen or hardened earwax is
untreated, it can lead to hearing loss, irritation, pain in the
ears, dizziness, ringing ears and other problems. Do not
use cotton buds and other objects. Instead, use soft
cloth in cleaning the ears.

Swimmer’s Ear is an infection in the outer ear canal. It

happens when water is trapped in the ears causing bacterial
or fungal infection that spreads in the inner ear. If untreated,
it causes severe pain, redness or swelling of the outer ear
and fever. This condition needs to be treated by a doctor. It
is advised to use ear plugs during swimming activities.
Clean your ears with a wet towel after taking a bath to avoid
water getting into the ear canal.

Otitis Media is a group of inflammatory diseases of the

middle ear. This disease is common in children because the
tube that allows fresh air in the middle ear is not yet fully
developed.

C. Issues and Concerns on Vision

1. ASTIGMATISM is a type of refractive error in which the eye does not

focus light evenly on the retina. This results in distorted or blurred
vision at all distances.

2. MYOPIA or nearsightedness, is a vision condition in which

people can see close objects clearly, but objects farther away
appear blurred. People with myopia have difficulty seeing clearly
a movie or TV screen, blackboard or whiteboard in school and
while driving. In school, pupils with myopia should be seated in
front. Wearing eyeglasses are recommended for eye correction.

3. HYPEROPIA or far-sightedness, also known as long-

sightedness, is a condition where people have difficulty focusing
on objects that are too close but can see distant objects very well.
It can be corrected by eyeglasses or contact lenses.

17
 4. XEROPHTHALMIA is a medical condition in which the eye fails to
produce tears. It may be caused by vitamin A deficiency
characterized by white spots and ulcers on the cornea. If not treated,
it could result to night blindness or serious damage to the cornea or
outer layer of the eye. Eating foods that are rich in Vitamin A is
advised to avoid xerophthalmia.

5. STRABISMUS is also called crossed eyes. It is a condition in which

the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an
object. Mild strabismus can be corrected by a vision therapy or eye
exercises performed at home.

D. Issues and Concerns on Body Posture and Spine Disorder

1. SCOLIOSIS — is a medical condition in which a person's spine

has a sideways curve.

2. LORDOSIS — refers to the normal inward lordotic

curvature of the lumbar and cervical regions of the human
spine.

3. KYPHOSIS — is an abnormally excessive convex kyphotic

curvature of the spine as it occurs in the cervical, thoracic and sacral
regions.

E. Issues and Concerns on Oral and Dental

CAVITIES — are damage to the structure of a tooth.

GINGIVITIS — "inflammation of the gum tissue") is a non-destructive

disease that occurs around the teeth.

HALITOSIS — also known as bad breath is a symptom in which a

noticeably unpleasant odor is present on the breath.

18
 MALOCCLUSION — is a misalignment or incorrect relation between
the teeth of the two dental arches when they approach each other as
the jaws close.

PERIODONTITIS — also known as gum disease and pyorrhea is a

set of inflammatory diseases affecting the tissues surrounding the
teeth.

What’s More
Directions: Write Agree if the statement tells good management about
personal health issues and concerns and Disagree if otherwise. Write your
answers in your notebook.
1. To prevent obesity, we should minimize eating food that is high in sugar,

Health Appraisal Procedure
1. Height and weight

It is being monitored during puberty to know the

growth of a child and to get to his BMI to describe
the body’s condition.

2. Hearing Test

It is important to find out ones hearing ability. The

audiometer is an accurate instrument to test the
hearing ability of an individual. Since not all schools
have this instrument, a whisper and watch can be
used. A quiet room is important in administering this
test.

3. Vision Testing

Vision test is done using the Snellen Chart twice a year

also, just like the height and weight taking.

24
 4. Self- breast examination

It is a procedure a woman can do to physically and visually examine her breasts

and underarm areas for changes. It has not been shown that BSEs alone can
accurately determine the presence of breast cancer.

5. Scoliosis test

This is a simple screening test that can detect potential

problems. If you notice any unevenness, you should
contact your doctor for an exam. Using a scoliometer can
help determine the severity of the curve. Scoliosis is
usually confirmed by taking X-ray of the entire spine
looking from front to back.

6. Dental examination

It is part of an oral examination: the close inspection of the

teeth and tissues of the mouth using physical assessment,
radiographs, and other diagnostic aids.

examination and evaluation made by a physician.

who are seriously ill with complex conditions.

health care in a systematic professional way to any individual in need of
health care services. A health care provider may refer to a health

services.
