Section 2. Reading

2.1. According to the World Health Organisation the following things represent major health determiners. Study the information carefully and be ready to say if people can improve their health or their health is predeternimed by the factors that people can’t change. Don’t forget to do the vocabulary work given below.

Socioeconomic status - the higher a person's socioeconomic status is, the more likely he/she is to enjoy good health. The link is a clear one. Higher status results in better dwelling, food, medical care, working conditions. Socioeconomic status affects all members of the family, including newborn babies.

Education - people with lower levels of education generally have a higher risk of experiencing poorer health. Their level of stress is more significant, compared to people with higher academic qualifications. A person with a high level of education will probably have higher self-esteem.

Physical environment - if your water is clean and safe, the air you breathe is pure, your workplace is healthy, your house is comfortable and safe, you are more likely to enjoy good health compared to somebody whose water supply is not clean and safe, the air he/she breathes is contaminated, the workplace is unhealthy, etc.

Job prospects and employment conditions - if you have a job, statistics show you are more likely to enjoy better health than people who are unemployed. If you have some control over your working conditions your health will benefit too.

Support from people around you - if you have family support, as well as support from friends and your community your chances of enjoying good health are far greater than somebody who has none of these things.

Culture - the traditions and customs of a society and how a family responds to them play an important role in people's health. The impact can be either good or bad for health.

Genetic inheritance - people's longevity, general health and propensity to certain diseases are partly determined by their genetic makeup.

Lifestyle - what we eat, our physical activity, whether or not we smoke or drink or take drugs, and how we cope with stress play an important role on our physical and mental well-being.

Access and use of health services - a society that has access and uses good quality health services is more likely to enjoy better health than one that doesn't.

Gender - men and women are susceptible to some different diseases, conditions and physical experiences, which play a role in our general health.
