Growth:

Lifestyle,
Biological factors
Effects of diet in pregnancy
Diet during pregnancy may have effects on the health of the child that become apparent later in life. A poor pregnancy diet can lead to various nutritional deficiencies. During pregnancy, mum to be need plenty of folic acid, calcium and iron. This is to ensure that body’s needs are not compromised in order to meet the calcium needs of the baby. Iron is important because body needs it to make the haemoglobin that transports oxygen to body and to foetus. Folic acid prevents foetus from developing defects of the spine and spinal cord. For example inadequate nutrition during pregnancy can lead to a difficult pregnancy, labour difficulties and a slower recovery. Pregnant women who are overweight or obese have a greater risk for developing diabetes, hypertension, or needing a caesarean section delivery. Proper nutrition can keep labour from commencing too early. Having a healthy body may also make the long, intensive labour process a little easier. Proper nutrition can also help mum to be recovery after childbirth

Infections during pregnancy Rubella is caused by the rubella virus, which is spread in much the same way as a cold or the flu.

The only time that rubella becomes a serious concern is if mum to be cached the disease during the first four months of pregnancy it can seriously affect the unborn baby’s sight and hearing, and cause brain and heart defects. Once a person has had rubella they should develop a life-long immunity against further infection.

Environmental factors
Pollution factors
Air pollution can affect our health in many ways with both short-term and long-term effects. Different groups of individuals are affected by air pollution in different ways. Some individuals are much more sensitive to pollutants than are others. Young children and elderly people often suffer more from the effects of air pollution. People with health problems such as asthma, heart and lung disease may also suffer more when the air is polluted. For examples of short-term effects include irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, and respiratory infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia.
Long-term health effects can include chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer, heart disease, and even damage to the brain, nerves, liver, or kidneys. Continual exposure to air pollution affects the lungs of growing children and may aggravate or complicate medical conditions in the elderly. And all those air pollution can be a result of smoking cigarettes, Motors, cars, train, buses and other means of transport produce a range of air pollution, which include carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. People who live close to these means of transport will be exposed to this pollution.

Poverty limits children’s opportunity to reach their full potential, and disadvantage is often handed down from generation to generation, poor children often end up being poor adults. Limited educational resources, a poor home learning environment, poor physical and mental health and family instability all contribute to limiting children’s opportunities and aspiration. For children in households where nobody works, the problems of low income are often combined with parents’ poor mental health and a lack of positive working role models. Parents who themselves grew up in poverty sometimes find it difficult to support their children’s educational and cognitive development.
Lifestyle
Smoking Smoking can causes cell damage, which can lead to illnesses, such as cancer, heart disease and asthma .smoking also can link to poor wound healing and premature aging of the skin. Smoking stops our body absorbing vitamin C and other nutrients. The only way to avoid this damage is to stop smoking and better still, avoid starting in the first place.

Major life events can be positive and negative or disagreeable, terrifying, unclear and dangerous at the same times. Disagreeable things happens to everyone is doesn’t matter if predictable or unpredictable.

...Basically primary care consists of i) medical care (family physicians/primary care doctors); ii) district care (district nurses and midwives); and iii) social care (social workers). Medical care and district care together are primary health care (PHC). Social care is organized, managed and financed by local communities and since the beginning of the 90-ties is separated from health care. Social care tasks are focusing on support of inhabitants of local communities in case of poverty and are to prevent exclusion. Social care includes activities such as analyses of the local environment, the economical status of community members and making decisions on financing or co-financing of help measures requested by individuals. The social care budget is also playing a role in financing health services for the unemployed (from the central budget) and the homeless/uninsured (from the local community budget). From the central social care budget money flows to the National Health Fund (NFZ), which is the central insurance institution in Poland, and is further disseminated among the 16 regions of Poland in which branches of NFZ are located. From the local community budget, moneys are paid directly to selected health care units. Due to the yet unfinished implementation of family medicine, primary health care in Poland consists of two dimensions or care models: the old Semashko model with its group out-patient units and the family medicine model. Nowadays both dimensions have equal representation...

Health Status of Aboriginal People in Ontario

...Health Status of Aboriginal people in Ontario By: Taylor Veran Health Careers and Informatics Lorrie Lough November 1st, 2012 The majority of health issues that the Aboriginal community faces are related directly and indirectly to social, economic, cultural and political areas. Infrastructure, housing, employment, income, environmental and education are connected to the individual and community based effects of health. The health status of aboriginals in Ontario is very poor. There are a lot of health care needs for aboriginals that live in Northwest Ontario, also because the population is so high. The first nations population is the largest (958,000) Followed by the Metis (266,000) and the Inuit (51,000). Every year the population of aboriginals increases. The health status, diseases and life style of these people should be monitored and taken care of to an extent. Aboriginal population is relatively young in Ontario. The birth rate is two times the rate of the Canadian population, which is very high. Aboriginals seem to rank lower education, have higher rates of unemployment, along with higher rates of smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, which can lead to needing a lot of health care. (Dr. Chandrakant P. Shah. 2005, page. 3) Some may argue that the health issues are genetic, but health means more than the absence of disease.
