Disease
A condition of abnormal function involving any structure, part, or system
Syndrome
A group of signs and symptoms that occur together and are typical of a particular disorder/disease
Symptoms associated with sedentary living
- decreased fitness
- decreased bone density
- decrease HDL cholesterol
- increased blood sugar
- increased resting heart rate
- overweight/obese
Risk factor
A factor that cause a person or group of people to be at risk of an unwanted or unhealthful event
ex. no seatbelt –> raises risk of mortality if involved in car accident
Relative risk
Chance that a disease or side effect will occur given certain conditions or factors
ex. people who do not wear a seatbelt increase their risk of crash related injuries and deaths by 50%
Primary prevention
The preventions of risk factors.
- maintain health status, prevent new conditions
ex. Help UI students stay active
Secondary prevention
Prevention of disease once risk factors are present.
- detect/treat risk factors
ex. BP screen to identify who has high BP, recommended PA to decrease high BP
Tertiary prevention
Reduction in the amount of disability caused by disease; treatment or rehabilitation of disease.
ex. cardiac rehabilitation
Active couch potatoe
Someone who meets the PA guidelines
- sedentary rest of the day
Negative outcomes of higher levels of sedentary time
- increased waist circumference
- unhealthy levels of blood glucose, insulin, and fat
- lower measures of physical functioning
- increased risk of all cause mortality
Cardiovascular disease
Group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels
ex. coronary heart disease (heart attack), cerebrovascular disease (brain - stroke), hypertension, peripheral vascular disease (limbs)
Cardiovascular disease annual cost; cancer annual cost
475 billion; 228 billion
Atherosclerosis
Plaque buildup in arteries
Arteriosclerosis
hardening of arteries
Cardiovascular disease risk factor: modifiable and non-modifiable
Modifiable:
- tobacco
- obesity
- hypertension
- dyslipidemia
- diabetes
- metabolic syndrome
- elevated inflammatory biomarkers (reactive protein)
- indicative of systemic inflammation
- PA
Non-modifiable:
- age ( >45 men, >55 women)
- family history
- gender (male)
- ethnicity/race (AA)
Hypertension
Consistently high BP
- high >140/90 mmHg
- prehypertensive 120-139 / 80-89 mmHg
“White coat syndrome”
when BP is high at doctor; related to high BP at other times
How does PA lower BP
immediately lowers systolic and diastolic BP especially with multiple bouts of PA throughout day
Dylipidemia
High cholesterol (lipids) and fats (triglycerides) in blood
How does PA lower Dylipidemia
lowers triglycerides and LDL, increase HDL (not always)
What leaves you at an increased risk of Dylipidemia
Total cholesterol >200 mg/dL
HDL <40 mg/dL
LDL > 140 mg/dL
Triglycerides > 150 mg/dL
Diabetes
Inability to regulate blood glucose levels
Insulin
Allows glucose to cross cell membranes
Insulin sensitivity
How likely a cell is to respond to insulin
