-focuses on the larger social picture surrounding health-care outcomes
-primary focus on achieving health equity where every member of the population has an
equal opportunity to be healthy
What is a health indicator?
measurements of health-related concepts across the lifespan
What are determinants of health?
-range of social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health status
-can include individual behavior and biological and genetic factors
What are dizygotic twins?
-fraternal twins
-two ova are released at ovulation, and each ovum is fertilized by a separate sperm
-may or may not be the same sex
-as alike as any siblings
What are monozygotic twins?
,-identical twins
-one single fertilized ovum separates into 2 separate embryos
-will be of the same sex
-will be genetically identical
What are the critical periods of the prenatal phase?
-many occur during the first trimester of pregnancy when basic structures are
developing
-many factors can affect the growth and development throughout fetal life:
-inadequate nutrition
-diet
-age
-health
-drug use
-alcohol use
-tobacco use
What is nutrition as a factor that affects the prenatal phase?
-lack of nutrients
-disease in mother and baby

-infant prematurity or stillbirth
-congenital malformation
-intrauterine growth retardation
-infant mortality
What is age as factor that may affect the prenatal phase?
,-research indicates that women over 30 years and teenage mothers are both at

How do medications impact pregnancy?
-no drug- either prescription or over the counter- should be taken unless prescribed as
necessary
-interval physical dependence of infants at birth on tetracyclines and other medications
or narcotics
What is Microbiome?
-smallest life forms
-great role in normal physiology, development, and health
-exchanges of microbiomes between mother and infant both prior to and following birth
is connected with the health and disease of the infant later in life
-maintenance of health and the level of immunity to disease modulated by microbiomes
acquired during fetal development and newborn experiences
How does exercise affect pregnancy?
-significant to maintain levels of health and fitness during pregnancy
-benefits include increased energy, mood, sleep, muscle tone, and reduced risk for
gestational diabetes
-modification may be simple
