true or false: A lot of the time, physical activity can decrease mortality rates
true
with physical activity epidemiology what is the independent variable and what is
the dependent variable
physical activity as the independent variable and the dependent variable being the
disease or condition.
When you look a the major causes of deaths in the U.S what are the top causes
heart disease and cancer (covid for a little bit)
what are the two largest factors of helath and longevity
lifestyle and genetics
what is epidemiology?
Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and dynamics of disease in a population for
the purposes of identifying factors that affect this distribution and then modifying these
risk factors in order to reduce the frequency of morbidity and mortality from disease. Its
a study of the patterns and determinants of health and disease.
how many layers are there of empidemiology
3
what is the first layer of epidemiology
Describing the distribution of the disease. These are the descriptives, how much is it
happening whos getting it where is it happening how frequently is it happening whats
the significance of it happening how bad is it.
what is an example of the first layer of epidemiology
,For example with covid we were trying to solve the problem before we even knew what
it was we just didn't have enough data because it was happening so fast. With heart
disease we had decades to figure it out.
what is the second layer of epidemiology
What factors are related to it. What are its potential impacting factors what are the
things that are potentially causing it. Be careful using the word cause.
example of 2nd layer
With heart disease if we dont know that reducing saturated fat is related to it we cant
intervene and try to help people eat better.
what is the third layer of epidemiology
Final step is to try and prevent that disease form occuring by modifying one or more of
those risk factors.
what is physical activity
any bodily movement produced by muscular contractions above resting levels.
what is exercise
planned physical activity
NOTE EXERCISE AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ARE NOT THE OPPOSITE OF
SEDENTARY BEHAVIOR.
;)
what is sedentary behavior
any waking behavior with an energy expenditure less that 1.5 metts that means resting
or near resting so sitting some standing thats sedentary behavior.
what is causality?
when there is a relationship between 2 factors but the first causes the second
NOTE IN TERMS OF HEALTH RESEARCH PARTICULARLY HUMAN BEHAVIOR
THERE ARE VERY VERY FEW CAUSAL RELATIONSHIPS.
:0
what is an example of a causal relationship?
One example of a causal relationship is taking a vaccine and reducing the risk of
disease.
what is the closest thing we have to a casual raltionship in health behavior?
smoking and lung cancer
What are the criteria for causality (9)
- Strength
- Consistency
- Specificity
- Temporality
- Biological gradient
- Plausibility
- Coherence
- Experiment
- Analogy
Understand that the top ones are the most important and the lower ones are less
important
how do we measure physical activity
, (this is very difficult)
There are ways to do it, but the better the device the harder it is to use and the more
expensive it is.
what are mets
Metts is basically metabolic equivalent so 3.5 ml/kg/min which is oxygen consumed
thats resting. Thats the amount of oxygen needed on average to function at rest. 2 Mets
would be double that so 7ml/kg/min.
what is the number of mets for the line between light physical activity and
moderate
3 mets
what is the number of mets for the line between moderate and vigorous physical
activity
6 mets
Mets is how intenisty is determined btw
by that i mean the
3 mets= the line between light physical activity and moderate
6 mets= the line between moderate and vigorous physical activity
Prolonged sedentary behavior does increase the risk of a number of chronic
diseases including (4)
Type 2 diabetes
Muscle atrophy
Atherosclerosis
Dementia
Daily sitting time increases all-cause mortality
Aerobic physical activity decreases the risk of all-cause mortality
Aerobic physical activity decreases the risk of death from
several chronic diseases
Resistance exercise training decreases the risk of all-cause
mortality
Resistance exercise training decreases the risk of all-cause
mortality
k
there are more graphs but idk how important they are maybe just go skim them
great work!
Common risk factors - ANSWER ✅✅✅✅unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco
use
Childhood risk - ANSWER ✅✅✅✅conditions before birth and early in childhood
influence health in adult life.
Risk accumulation - ANSWER ✅✅✅✅Ageing is an important marker of the
accumulation of modifiable risks for chronic disease
