Social Isolation Among Older Individuals: The Relationship to Mortality and Morbidity - The Second Fifty Years - NCBI Bookshelf. Social vulnerability from a social ecology perspective: a cohort study of older adults from the National Population Health Survey of Canada. We identified seven dimensions of social vulnerability (self-esteem, sense of control, living situation, social support, engagement, relations with others, and neighbourhood SES) in a sample of 2740 older Canadians and situated them within a social ecology framework of social vulnerability. The low percentage of variance explained by the seven dimensions is a limitation of our study and reflects the challenge of parsing many very different contributing factors to overall social vulnerability (from self esteem to SES to social supports and engagement) into distinct domains. As a result, one important interpretation of our findings is that a deficit accumulation approach, or social vulnerability index, is more appropriate for the conceptualization and study of social vulnerability.
Nevertheless, our attempt at factor analysis does illustrate that inter-relationships between the social variables that contribute to overall social vulnerability have complex inter-connections.

How can we create a society in which everyone has a chance to live a long, healthy life? Healthy People 2020 is exploring these questions by: Developing objectives that address the relationship between health status and biology, individual behavior, health services, social factors, and policies.Emphasizing an ecological approach to disease prevention and health promotion.

The health benefits of physical activity (PA) are well documented with higher levels and greater frequency of PA being associated with reduced risk and improved health in a number of key areas.1-4 Improvements in mental health, well‐being and cognitive function are also associated with regular PA.5-8 Despite these health benefits, PA levels amongst older adults remain below the recommended 150 min/wk.1, 9 International and national health policies have focused on improving health by providing PA guidance to the older population10-12 and by highlighting to those working with older adults the need to incorporate increased amounts of PA into everyday life.1, 13 The aims of this qualitative study were to (i) explore the views and experiences of older adults in relation to successful PA interventions and (ii) to develop recommendations with older adults for a population level PA intervention to promote uptake and adherence. 2.1 Participants 2.2 Data collection 2.3 Data analysis 3.2.1 Sociable.

The health inequalities turn as a dangerous frame shift. Frameworks Report English. In the Caribbean, colonialism and inequality mean hurricanes hit harder. Hurricane Maria, the 15th tropical depression this season, is now battering the Caribbean, just two weeks after Hurricane Irma wreaked havoc in the region.
The devastation in Dominica is “mind-boggling,” wrote the country’s prime minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, on Facebook just after midnight on September 19. The next day, in Puerto Rico, NPR reported via member station WRTU in San Juan that “Most of the island is without power…or water.” Among the Caribbean islands impacted by both deadly storms are Puerto Rico, St Kitts, Tortola and Barbuda. In this region, disaster damages are frequently amplified by needlessly protracted and incomplete recoveries. In 2004, Hurricane Ivan rolled roughshod through the Caribbean with wind speeds of 160 mph. Nor were the effects of a 7 magnitude earthquake that rocked Haiti in 2010 limited to killing some 150,000 people. These are not isolated instances of random bad luck.

Taking Haiti: Military Occupation and the Culture of U.S. Imperialism, 1915-1940 - Mary A. Renda. The Determination of Health Across the Life Course and Across Levels of Influence » SPH. In the first part of this Dean’s Note, I suggested that a life course perspective can be a useful and essential organizing approach for population health science.
I have, in previous work, suggested that life course approaches and multilevel approaches may be the two most important paradigmatic shifts in population health science in recent decades. Building then on the first part of this note, here I comment on multilevel approaches. A multilevel approach to population health is predicated on the understanding that exposures at many levels of organization work together to produce health outcomes. These exposures are positioned both up and downstream of individual-level risk factors [see Figure 1] and include determinants of population health that are social, biological, geographic, political, and temporal in nature.
Figure 1. Importantly, multilevel perspectives do not simply “add” isolated “risk factors” at other levels of influence to our prediction models. Figure 2. Figure 3. Sandro. National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health.
