Is young adulthood better characterized as a period of health-improving lifestyles or health-impairing lifestyles? Discuss reasons for each.
Grandpa A and Grandpa B are both turning 80 this year. Both were former heavy smokers earlier in life but have now quit. The grandpas both see their primary care providers around their 80th birthdays. Grandpa A is told that his general health status for his age is very poor, while Grandpa B is told his general health status for his age is very good. Using the lifespan perspective, what are two other factors that could possibly explain the different health statuses of the grandpas who shared the same major health risk factor (chronic heavy smoking)?
There is a wealth of research demonstrating that education is one of the strongest predictors of health status. Why?How?
