Do not include your name or initials anywhere within this document or its filename Foundation Year Health and Social Care Academic Skills and Study with Confidence SSS ID: 2313800 Define “Health” and explain the importance of health in society. (200 words): Health is defined as the abilities of human beings to cope up with the physical, emotional, mental, and social activities that are being carried out in the society around him (Eliza & Robert, 2023). A good health is complete wellbeing, and a complete absence of diseases is not categorised as a good health. Society is a place where all people are linked to one another in a way that impacts their lives. Only healthy people can contribute towards a better society. Health allows people to build a healthier and a happier society. It helps people to connect with each other, to be physically active, to learn new skills, healthier people can give others what is better for them, and a good health helps people to pay attention towards present and take steps that can help them build a brighter and a better future. A good health also means social wellbeing that helps people to connect, share and develop healthy relationships with people around them which eventually brings happiness to their own lives as well. And by all this they are also contributing towards a better society that can do the right things for its people and the country. And being healthy is the only way we can show up ourselves to help other people who are in need (Royal Academy of Music, N.D). Page 2 of 6

These factors can have the capability to drive the lives of human beings in whatever direction they want so people must be incredibly careful with their lives and choices because they are being directly influenced by these choices. Some of the main factors that influence the health and health behaviours of human beings are as under: 1. The Social and Economic Environment: Components such as learning, work, finances, and communal backing constitute the social and economic milieu. The quality of our surroundings, employment opportunities, communal aid, and nourishing sustenance is shaped by our social and economic circumstances. These factors collectively wield influence over our well-being. A person's monetary resources and educational attainment serve as the foremost benchmarks for gauging their health. 2. Health Behaviours: The decisions we make that impact the duration and standard of our lives are known as our health behaviours. Among the most important health- related behaviours are food, exercise, and smoking. All three factors play a role in affecting an individual's susceptibility to conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, obesity, and various other chronic ailments. Clinical Care: Clinical care encompasses any engagement with the healthcare system, spanning preventive measures like vaccinations and screenings, to the management of specific diseases and health conditions. Numerous places, such as long-term care facilities, hospitals, public health offices, outpatient clinics, and occasionally our own homes, can experience it. Good health care is prompt, high-quality, priced, and easily accessible. 3. The Physical Environment: Page 3 of 6

Do not include your name or initials anywhere within this document or its filename Foundation Year Health and Social Care Academic Skills and Study with Confidence The built and natural environments, as well as public resources, buildings, and transit networks, are all included in the physical environment. People's environments at home, at work, and in school directly impact their health and health-related behaviours. SSS ID: 2313800 Identify a range of different measures of health (200 words): Indicators of an individual's health or quality of life include their body's structure and operations, the presence or absence of illness or symptoms (health status), any symptoms and constraints they experience, or the extent to which an ailment disrupts their daily activities. These indicators can be observed with simple health measures and a better health can be maintained by keeping this small measure in line. It takes more than just yearly check-ups with your healthcare practitioner to maintain good health. It entails routinely checking important health markers at home. The World Health Organisation defines health as a condition of total physical, mental, and social well-being—not just the absence of disease—and these actions can help you achieve it. For this reason, keeping track of your health information can be a useful tool in preserving your general well-being. Different measures of health are taken to have a proper idea to know the state of health of a human being. Some of the most important and widely adopted and practiced health measures are the following which help to know the health when required (Ask the Scientist, N.D). These measures are: 1. Blood Pressure 2. Pulse Rate 3. Breathing Rate 4. Body Temperature 5. Glucose Check 6. Oxygen Check Page 4 of 6

Strengths:  Multiple readings can be taken over a period.  It helps in a better management of hypertension.  It detects the variability in blood pressure. Weaknesses:  Some devices may give inaccurate readings that is a health hazard.  The placement of cuff may affect the reading and its accuracy.  Patients may change treatment because of casual measurements. Blood Glucose Monitoring: It is a measure that is used to measure the glucose level in human blood that plays an especially key role in the health status of human beings (Danatech, N.D). Strengths:  Helps to access glycemic patterns. Page 5 of 6
