I had my first SAC today!
Only things I'm not confident with are two four-mark questions. One was like 'explain how one biological and one behavioural determinant contributes to the differences in male and female rates of cardiovascular for 54-65 year olds in the previous graph. (where males had higher rates of CVD)
I think I had physical inactivity and gender: differences in fat distribution and then explained them. But looking at my notes now I'm doubting myself. Crap
And another question was explain how two social determinants of health contributes to higher rates of obesity/overweightness in low SES groups.
I think I had food insecurity and early life experiences (possible being uneducated about the healthy food choices and the effects of a poor diet) or something, and how low ses groups may not be able to afford nutritional food and thus eat more fatty foods leading to higher rates of obesity and overweightness.
Anyone know if I was on the right track?
As for the rest of the SAC, I thought it was quite good.
Hey, not saying my answers are right, but this is how i would have answered it.
One was like 'explain how one biological and one behavioural determinant contributes to the differences in male and female rates of cardiovascular for 54-65 year olds in the previous graph. (where males had higher rates of CVD)
Tobacco smoking (behavioural determinant). Males have higher rates of tobacco smoking, tobacco smoke can cause a fault in body cells as they divide. This can lead to negative health outcomes such as tumours, lung cancer and
cardiovascular disease, thus tobacco smoking causes variation in health status between males + females in that males are more likely to have CVD . Males have higher rates of obesity/overweight
(bodyweight-biological determinant), this can be a result of males being more likely to have poorer dietary behaviour, usually consuming proceed foods that are high in fats (saturated + trans), sugar and sodium which can lead to being obese/overweight, this leads to males being more likely to have hypertension, high blood cholesterol and
cardiovascular disease. Therefore the body weight (biological determinant) can cause a variation in health status between males + females, in that males are more likely to be obese/overweight which can lead to males have higher rates of CVD.
And another question was explain how two social determinants of health contributes to higher rates of obesity/overweightness in low SES groups.
food security, access to health care,
Food security, low SES people are more likely to have food insecurity (shortage of nutritious foods) such as fruits and vegetables as they may not be able to afford health foods consistently due to a poor income, instead they may be forced to purchase proceed foods that are high in fats (saturated+trans), sodium and sugar which can lead to low SES people having higher rates of obesity/overweight.
Access to health care, health care refers to services that promote and preserve health, these services are carried out by doctors and other health professionals. These services also treat, manage and diagnose a disease or illness. Some health care services are not covered by medicare, as a result a low SES person who has poor dietary behaviour may miss out on treatment and being managed, instead are more likely to be obese/overweight, thus a lack of access for low SES people acts as a risk factor for higher rates of obesity/overweight.
