Comm Test 1: hx of public health in the community Flashcards
3 key components
increase in population
increase in population density
imbalance human ecology
= need more infrastructure( bigger health network across the board), more staff, increase what to have to serve the people /increase in diversity, diff needs and beliefs
. increase in population
- everyone go to the same place in same square area/ more issues bc congestion with traffic/people will become frustrated=stress-more illness/increase public health concerns, need more doctors =violence goes up and so does injury
increase in population density
-supply and demand of consumer goods (enough stuff to meet the needs of the people) Ex: food, housing, transportation, health care services
. imbalanced human ecology
: before 10,000 bc stone age, small groups of population were all separated, not a lot of contact between them
-little opportunity for different views to clash, self-sufficient, little opportunity for exchange of disease, abandon housing when waste took too much room=get into the ground and crops
Ex: now we stop eating Mexican tomato’s because contaminated
Hunting and gathering
-small groups began to combine with other small groups= increase pop and density / greater supply and demand , animals living in closer proximity to the humans=bugs, disease, illness
-Problems: salmonella, anthrax, qfever, tb prevalent during this age
-not enough plant life to sustain= poor nutrition, water resources contaminated=dysentery, cholera, typhoid, hep a
Ex: Burmese move in have tb bc dense area
settled villages
- 6,000bc to 1600bc, large urban areas had to form , more pop, demand on resources, manufacturing =live closer to where they work more needs , increase need for waste removal/ start to dev more sophisticated water system/ formal towns develop=waste and trash problems bring issues=rats came-carry diseases
- rats would come from anywhere, newer disease happening=direct contact, through their waste
- rats=brought the plague=bubonic plague(black death) -red sores flu, small pox
Preindustrial area
-1700-1800: industry increase, industrial waste pollution issue=air, land, water, civil war=make weapons/ war ends poor working conditions
Mercenary soldiers to come help fight- bring disease
-Problems: Resp disease increased=pneumonia bronchitis , epidemics-illness in large proportion episodes of illness=diphtheria, small pox, typhoid, measles, malaria, yellow fever (spread by travel)
Industrial cities
= 1900- infectious disease caused the largest amount of death ever, health disparities in socioeconomic status
- end of century disease chronic- cardiac, peripheral vascular, obesity, diabetes
- increased refined sugar and fat= what we ate caused disease others adopted western ways
- occupational hazards, mental disorders=stress, modern convinces promoted by sedentary lifestyle
The present- 1900 to present
– Leviticus (bible) self-care and well-being of the community
1500 BC
– Hippocrates: components talk about looking more holistic, prevention, shift for survival of all
500 BC
1620-1674)
* father of descriptive epidemiology(how you track a disease), describes what happened with the plague * First to predict life expectancy- started to look outside those people who can pay/studied the plague/ 40 years at best life expectancy
-John Graunt (
– hygiene, medical skills.
Babylonians
– medications, drainage systems.
Egyptians
(1633-1723)
* rudimentary observation of bacteria - Organisms that would hurt you
Anthoni Leeuwenhock
(1633-1714)
* occupational health: work houses, child labor
Bernardo Ramazzini
- Regulate the poor, blind, and “lame”
- Refuge for local citizens only
- Almhouses
Elizabethan Poor Law of 1601
germs, pathogens were called
Contagions- 1700
(Europe) contributions looked at infant mortality, affect the growth and the strength of the population( more deaths pop weaker and sicker)/ advocated for medical old age insurance= impacts today basic foundation Medicare and Medicaid, social security
Denis Diderot 1700
contributions worked on small pox vaccine, decreased the amount of cases
Edward Jenner
big issue during late 1700s killed thousands of people
Yellow fever-
- dealt with issues of quarantine of ships in the US, no one get off ship: floating ships were mini hospitals= transfer people to hospital that are very sick went to the hospital ( starting to realized where disease are started , and the whole chain of infection)
Marine Hospital Service
- things will transfer (infectious disease), universally excepted, things will make us sick
Germ theory 1800
- a lot of health issues related to working conditions, pollution
Industrialization 1800
