KIN 4310 1nd Edition Lecture 20Outline of Last Lecture I. WorkshopII. Testing the Significance of CorrelationsIII. Correlation StudiesIV. Correlation Studies StepsV. Hand StudyVI. ReviewOutline of Current Lecture I. Measurement of Health StatusII. Health StatusIII. Health Status (of a population)IV. ExamplesV. Health and FitnessCurrent LectureI. Measurement of Health Statusa. Definition of Health:i. Absence of:1. Physical pain2. Physical disability3. Conditions likely to cause deathii. Emotional well-beingThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.iii. Satisfactory social functioningb. Note: Emotional well being referring to mental health. Social functioning is referring to healthy social environments to live inII. Health Statusa. Individual Health Statusi. Observer (e.g., physician)ii. Self-reportb. Health of a populationi. Life expectancy at birthii. Death rateiii. Prevalence of diseaseiv. Pollutionc. Note: Self-reports are like surveys that you can find to figure out your own healthIII. Health Status (of a population)a. Mortalityi. Death rate = # of deaths in population for a given period of time/ # of people in the population during period of timeii. Average lifespan = # of years one is expected to live iii. Note: Mortality has to deal with death. You can measure it with the deathrate (mortality rate). Average life span is looking at ages of death but its not the best estimation of lifespan.b. Morbidityi. Incidence = # of new cases of a disease in a period of time/ # of people in population during period of timeii. Prevalence = # of cases of a disease in a population/ # of people in the populationiii. Note: Morbidity has to deal with diseases as in how many people acquire the disease in the last time period, which is usually one year. So incidence is like new diagnoses. For example, someone with PD may have had it for 10 years but then just got diagnosed last year. For example, how many new cases of obesity occur each year. If you have a disease that only happens to a specific demographic like testicular cancer would just consider males.iv. Note: Prevalence is how prevalent it is in the population – what portion ofthe population has this disease. For example, 1/3 of the population is obese.c. Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALY)i. Note: DALY is common in public health studies. It might cost 2 billion to vaccinate everyone but it might benefit the community overall and pay ofin the long run. It is the number of years lost + number of years spent in diseased state. A large DALY represents a lot of mortality and morbidity.IV. Examplesa. In Division 1 Collegiate football players, the prevalence of: i. Obesity is 21%ii. Insulin resistance is 21% iii. Metabolic syndrome is 9%iv. If there are 5800 Div-1 college football players, how many have insulin resistance?1. X = 5800 * 0.21 = 1218b. There are about 50,000 new cases of Parkinson’s Disease each year in the US.i. Incidence = 50,000/ adult population of USii. = 50,000/ 230,000,000iii. = 0.000217iv. About 2 new cases in every 10,000 adults per yearV. Health and Fitnessa. Health-Related Physical Fitnessi. Body compositionii. Aerobic fitnessiii. Flexibilityiv. Muscular endurancev. Muscular strengthb. Note: Health and fitness are related but they’re diferent. If you’re fit, you’re able to fit your environment and thrive there. These are 5 things that represent healthrelated physical fitness only. Aerobic fitness example could be doing a 1.5mile runand comparing it to the standards. A lack of muscle strength could result from a stroke for
