activity as it relates to health
- Learn the meaning of health as it relates to quality of life and freedom from disease

fitness
- Recognize the importance of nutrition to heath
Levels of Physical Activity (3): - Answer - Low (a lot of people are low active during the
day because of their work)
- Moderate (ex. walk their dog after dinner)

in the double decker bus drivers and conductors) - because of the stairs in the buses,
the conductors would have to go up and down the stairs all the time to punch bus tickets
- he compared the rates of heart diseases and mortality rates in the drivers compared to
those conductors - PUBLISHED IN THE LANCET IN 1950'S
Physical activity and health in 1990: - Answer Healthy people 2000 (CDC in EU: centers
for disease control) - they came out with goals for the United States called Healthy
people 2000, then became Healthy people 2010, Healthy people 2020 - they set a
10-year objective for health and well-being in the nation
Physical activity and health in 1996: - Answer A report from the Surgeon General (in the
1960's the surgeon general came out and said that smoking is hazardous to your health
and that was a big deal, in 1996 the surgeon general said that a sedentary lifestyle is
hazardous to your health)
What is health? - Answer - Freedom from disease
- Quality of life (there is many quality-of-life scales)
The average lifespan of Canadians in 1900: - Answer Less than 48-year life expectancy
The average lifespan of Canadians in 2019: - Answer Average life expectancy of 80
years (79.9 for men and 84.9 for women)
*With modern medicine and vaccines, the average life expectancies are up.*
Physical Activity results in the reduction in the risk of what problems: (OCDOCDHA) -

What do epidemiologists do? - Answer They tend to be very skilled and knowledgeable
about statistics, so they are capable to quantify certain health prints
- Countify certain health diseases
- Quantify spread of disease in relation to certain characteristics
- The language of science = statistics
How do epidemiologists associate factors with well-being? by analyzing what? - Answer
- Frequencies and types of disease
- Groups who are at risk or protected of disease (physical activity vs heart disease)
- Factors that influence their distribution (does wearing a mask/getting the vaccine have
an influence)
- Findings causes and preventing future cases - will we be more prepared for the next
pandemic
Premise behind epidemiology: - Answer - Disease, illness, and ill health are not
randomly distributed in the population (they might be a reason why we see some
