disease, disabilities, and deaths
Global Burden of Disease metric that quantifies the health loss caused by
disease, injuries, and risk factors in all regions of the
world at a given point in time
What does the global burden of health indicators- mortality and morbidity and
disease describe? provides insight on major contributors to health loss
The burden of disease is growing climate
disproportionately in the world and is public policy
largely affected by? age of the population
socioeconomic conditions
risk factors
Four common behavioral risk factors tobacco use
that occur globally alcohol consumption
poor diet
lack of physical activity
,What risk factors affect the disease childhood and maternal malnutrition
burden? other nutriton-related risk factors and inactivity
addictive substances
sexual and reproductive healh

and understand the difference in order to influence
patients and policy makers

importance of environmental health clean water act
and protection superfund
The environment and its effect on -how contaminants in the environment influence

ways? -how the entire environment surrounding the
community affects health (safety, climate, access to
grocery stores and community design)
Exposure History entails? present work
past work
home/residence
activities/hobbies
concerns
, Major Challenges to Environmental -limited availability of data on many contaminants
Epidemiology and their effect on health
-limited understanding about how exposures to
multiple contaminants sicken people
-latency between exposure and illness can be very
long
-time-consuming to perform
-resource-intensive in terms of personnel and money
-inconclusive in determining if X contaminant caused
Y illness
Vulnerability (Children's Health and -body systems are still rapidly developing
the Environment) -eat, drink, and breathe more in proportion to their
body size than adults
-breathing zone is closed to the ground in compared
with adults
-bodies may be less able to break down and excrete
contaminants
-behaviors can expose them to more contaminants
-spending time outside home where environmental
hazards may be present
Environmental Justice the belief that no group of people should bear a
disproportionate share of negative environmental
health consequences regardless of:
-race, culture, income
School Health Screenings immunizations
vision
hearing
postural (scoliosis screening)
body mass index
What do school nurses use data from? the youth risk behavior surveillance survey (YRBSS)
