2 Healthy Behaviours Flashcards
(61 cards)
The common risk factors leading to CVD and T2D
are unhealthy
lifestyle behaviours (e.g. a poor diet, physical inactivity, smoking
or excessive alcohol intake), obesity and poor mental health.
Lifestyle behaviour modification for CVD and T2D includes
regular physical activity and a diet high in vegetables and some
fruit and low in processed and sugar-laden foods.
Prevention and treatment strategies for CVD and T2D include
adherence to healthy lifestyle behaviours such as a balanced diet,
adequate exercise and weight control, as well as medication and
surgery in some circumstances.
Carbohydrate metabolism is important in the development of T2D,
which occurs when the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin
and thus regulate blood glucose levels.
What symptoms often co-occur with CVD and T2D, which
has implications for treatment and recovery.
Depressive
a cognitive and an emotional
coping resource.
Mindfulness
a stress resistance variable defined as a predisposition
to cope effectively when exposed to a stressor,
coping competence,
what behaviour has demonstrated to possess anxiolytic
and antidepressant properties, in addition to improvements in self-concept, perceived coping
ability
Exercise
The presence of depression in those
with T2D is associated with lower rates of
self-management, which leads
to higher levels of symptomology
depression in CVD is linked to
poor
physical, social and emotional health.
Ture or False: depression is related to cardiac disease severity
False
Van Melle et al. (2004) completed a meta-analysis of 22 prospective studies of depression and prognostic outcome hospitalised AMI patients from North America, Europe and Japan. Of note, in most of these studies depression was not related to cardiac disease
severity
Depression within the first 6
months following an AMI there is increased risk of mortality and
Depression
it has been argued that depression, particularly in
cardiac populations, should be viewed along a
continuum/spectrum rather
than as a discrete/categorical entity
major depressiondisorder (MDD) includes symptoms
lasting at least 2 weeks and present on
most days, and symptoms causing significant distress.

weight changes,
sleep changes,
psychomotor agitation or retardation,
fatigue,
feelings of worthlessness or guilt,
lack of concentration and
reduced decision-making ability, and suicidal ideation.
Since 1989, Australians have reduced their smoking by
about 40%
name 2 behaviours that can assist in maintaining good
mental health, reducing and managing stress and getting adequate sleep are
all beneficial to overall health and longevity
Avoiding sedentary behaviour,
increasing regular physical activity,
engaging in moderate to strenuous exercise a few times per week,
eating a diet high in vegetables and fruit and low in processed and sweetened
foods,
avoiding excessive alcohol intake,
not smoking,
T2D need to regularly
have their eyes and feet checked for
damage to capillaries in these areas
BGLs should be maintained
between — to —- mmol/L (fasting) to prevent short-term and long-term
complications (Diabetes Australia, 2015a
)
4 to 6 mmol/L (fasting)
The best treatment for T2D is
permanent changes to lifestyle behaviours
How many Ay=ustralian are undiagnosed with T2D
500000 Australians are undiagnosed (Diabetes Australia, 2015a).

Insulin resistance
Insulin resistance is a condition in which skeletal muscle cells no longer
respond to the normal action of insulin; causes:
hyperglycaemia
In an
effort to control BGLs, the —– produces a —– called insulin, which results
in
