Kory Floyd - ANSWER investigated the possible benefits of kissing in a sample of 52
married or cohabiting adults (Floyd et al., 2009). They wanted to know whether the
physical act of kissing provides tangible, measurable benefits and if it can improve one's
health.
Kissing group = less stressed
health - ANSWER A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being
activities of daily living (ADLs) - ANSWER personal daily care tasks, including bathing,
skin, nail, and hair care, walking, eating and drinking, mouth care, dressing,
transferring, and toileting
instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) - ANSWER tasks necessary to conduct the
business of daily life and also requiring some cognitive competence, such as
telephoning, shopping, food preparation, housekeeping, and paying bills
Risk factors for chronic illness - ANSWER include a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, alcohol
use, and unhealthy diet
cardiovascular disease - ANSWER a disease that affects the heart or blood vessels
Atherosclerosis - ANSWER hardening of the arteries
Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) - ANSWER Blockage of the arteries supplying blood to
the heart muscle; a major cause of death in Western culture, with social and
psychological factors involved.
Hypertension - ANSWER abnormally high blood pressure
systolic pressure - ANSWER Blood pressure in the arteries during contraction of the
ventricles.
Dystolic pressure - ANSWER relaxation
atherosclerosis and hypertension - ANSWER Atherosclerosis contributes to
hypertension in the following way. The accumulation of plaque forces the blood to be
pushed through narrower and narrower arter- ies. As a result, the pressure on the blood
as it is being pumped out of the heart becomes greater and greater, and the person now
is at risk for hypertension
congestive heart failure - ANSWER heart is unable to pump its required amount of blood
cerebrovascular disease - ANSWER a disease of the blood vessels of the brain
cerebrovascular accident (CVA) - ANSWER a.k.a. "Stroke". Lack of blood supply to the
,brain causing brain damage
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) - ANSWER Minor stroke; where neurological function is
regained quickly with time
Canadian Heart and Stroke stats - ANSWER dies every seven minutes, and these are
two of the three leading causes of death in this country
Behavioural risk factors - ANSWER Smoking
Sedentary Lifestyle --leisure activity
Unhealthy diet
Obesity
Alcohol Consumption
metabolic syndrome - ANSWER a medical condition associated with obesity, diabetes,
high cholesterol, and hypertension
Prevention of heart and stroke - ANSWER lowering cholesterol
Diet
exercise '
Cancer - ANSWER A disease in which some body cells grow and divide uncontrollably,
damaging the parts of the body around them.
risk factors of cancer - ANSWER smoking, obesity, uv exposure air, food, water, viral
infection, (genetics), age, race and ethnicity
Treatment of Cancer - ANSWER The best way to treat cancer is to prevent it by avoiding
known carcinogens.
Surgery
Radiation therapy
Chemo therapy
Survival Rates in Cancer - ANSWER The 5-year net survival rate for lung cancer is low
(17%).
The 5-year net survival rate for colorectal cancer is about average (64%).
The 5-year net survival rate is high for prostate cancer (95%) and breast cancer (87%).
Cancer Stages - ANSWER Stage 0: no cancer, only abnormal cells with the potential to
become cancer.
, Stage I: the cancer is small and only in one area (early-stage cancer)
Stage II & III: the cancer is larger and has grown into nearby tissues or lymph nodes.
Stage IV: the cancer has spread to other parts of your body. (advanced or metastatic

Unusual Lump
Signs and Symptoms of cancer are dependent on - ANSWER Where the cancer is
It's size
How much it affects the (nearby) organs or tissues
If it's spread (metastasized)
Cancer surgery Side effects - ANSWER Pain
Infection
Radiation Therapy side effects - ANSWER Destruction of nearby healthy cells
Fatigue, hair loss, skin changes (common)
Nausea & vomiting, sexual dysfunction
Diarrhea, urinary changes
Trouble swallowing
Chemo theory sideffects - ANSWER Kills healthy cells that divide and grow quickly
Fatigue (most common)
Nausea & vomiting
Hair loss
