Q

WHOs definition of health

Study These Flashcards
A

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

25
Development principles
1. Development is continual 2. Development is predictable 3. Development cannot occur until a child is maturely and intellectually ready. 4. There is individual variation in the rate of development. 5. Development relies on muscular and neutral maturation 6. Development is sequential
26
What are the limitations of WHO's defintion?
- It is very unlikely that anyone will ever be in a 'complete' state of well-being.
27
Individual health status
An individual's or population's overall health, taking into account various aspects such as life expectancy, amount of disability and levels of disease risk factors.
28
Life expectancy
Life expectancy is one of the most common methods used to measure health status. It gives an indication of how long a person is expected to live.
29
Morbidity
The rate at which a particular disease or illness occurs
30
Mortalilty
Mortality refers to the deaths in a population. The mortality rate is therefore an indication of how many deaths occurred in a population in a given period of time for a specific cause.
31
DALYs (Disability Adjusted Life Years)
A measure of the loss of healthy life as a result of non-fatal health conditions, illness, injury or premature death.
32
Burden of disease
A measure of the impact of diseases and injuries; specifically it measures the gap between health status and an ideal situation where everyone lives to an old age free of disease and disability. It is measured in DALY.
33
Incidence
Incidence refers to the number (or rate) of new cases of a disease/ condition in a population during a given period.
34
Prevalance
The number of proportion of cases of a particular disease or condition present in a population at a given time.
35
Trends
A long term general movement or change in frequency, usually either upwards or downwards. E.g. A unhealthy behaviour that is becoming more frequent.
36
HALE (Healthy Adjusted Life Years)
HALE estimates the number of healthy years an individual is expected to live at birth by subtracting the years of ill health – weighted according to severity – from overall life expectancy.
37
Infant mortality rate
Infant mortality is the death of a child less than one year of age.
38
Maternal mortality rate
Maternal death is the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy.
39
Health indicators
- life expectancy - mortality rates - morbidity rates
40
Fine motor skills
the manipulation and coordination of small muscle groups such as those in the hands
41
Gross motor skills
the manipulation and coordination of large muscle groups such as those in the arms and legs.
42
Reasons for improvement in life expectance
- improved technology - vaccinations - education - hygiene - more medication
43
Developmental milestones
a significant skill or event occurring in a person’s life: for example, learning to walk, getting a job or having children.
44
Cephalocaudal law
The cephalocaudal law maintains that development spreads over the body form head to foot.
45
Proximodistal Law
The proximodistal law maintains that development spreads outward from the central axis of the body or trunk to the extremities like hands and feet.
