Determinants
Biological Relate to the state and functioning of the body and include genetics, hormones and body weight. Eg. Older adults are biolo9gically prone to being in poorer health than adolescents due to the physical and cognitive effects of aging. Sickle cell disease is a common example of a genetic determinant of health. Sickle cell is a condition that people inherit when both parents carry the gene for the sickle cell. The gene is most common in people with ancestors from West African countries, Mediterranean countries, south or Central American countries, Caribbean islands, India and Saudi Arabia. Other examples of biological and genetic social determinants; age, sex, HIV status, inherited conditions (sickle cell, haemophilia, anaemia), carrying the BRCA1 or 2 (which increases risk for breast/ovarian cancer) and family history of heart disease. Behavioural Include the behaviours that people engage in that have an impact on health and development, including smoking and exercise. Eg; an individual quits smoking their risk of developing heart disease is greatly reduced. Other examples of individual behaviour of health substances; diet, physical activity, alcohol, cigarettes, other drugs, hand washing. Social The social determinants are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. These circumstances are shaped by the distribution of money, power and resources at global, national and local levels.

Internals
Definitions Burden of disease – a measure of diseases & injuries, is measured in a unit called the DALY Disability Adjusted Life Year (DALY) – a measure of burden of disease one DALY equals one year of healthy life lost due to premature death and time lived with illness, disease or injury. Health – a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Health indicators – standard statistics that are used to measure and compare health status, eg, life expectancy, mobility rates, morbidity rates. Health status – an individuals or a population’s overall health Human lifespan – infancy: birth – 2 years-old Childhood (early): 2-years-old – 6-years-old (late): 6-years-old – 12-years-old Youth: 12-years-old – 18-years-old Adulthood (early): 19-years-old – 40-years-old (middle): 40-years-old – 65-years-old (late): 65-years-old - death Incidence – in relation to morbidity, refers to the no. (or rate) of new causes of a disease/condition
