Behaviour is Central Outcome in Health

Introduction

Lifestyles and health behaviours at large influence the quality of life by contributing or not contributing in the maintenance of health. This relationship between behaviour and health concerns of many chronic conditions including cardiovascular disease and cancer. It also consists of acute exacerbations of chronic diseases. The reason is mostly the personal behaviour. However, they are far from being the only determinants. Living conditions and socioeconomic status have a direct impact on these behaviours. The scientific literature shows that education levels and income, quality of housing and the physical environment, quality of social relationships and access to employment have a strong relationship with health behaviours.

The complex nature of this relationship is still being investigated but the fact that living conditions influence the types of behaviour is certainly a factor of the first importance. It is in this context that this form gives the frequency of health factors, markers of current problems and future health. Since the nineteenth century, improving lifestyle has greatly increased the hope of life, and this; in particular, reduce the impact of infectious diseases. With the transformations of the frame of life, chronic diseases have a massive breakthrough and affect almost half of the population under one form or another. It is thought well to being overweight is known associated with a variety of pathologies disabling conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and osteoarthritis.

The World Health Organisation in Europe proposed a number of objectives designed to influence health behaviours at both the company and at the level of individual choice. Assess the prevalence of health behaviours and their distribution among the different layers of population, and understand the reasons and motivations that underlie them is essential to build relevant health policies. This assessment must be made for the general population, which requires specific techniques for collecting data in the form of special surveys conducted with a representative sample of the population. Among the behaviours most strongly associated with chronic disease, there is the absence or limitation of consumption of psychoactive substances such as tobacco or alcohol, quality of food and regular physical activity.

Description and Analysis

Despite significant advances in medicine and psychology, to develop guidelines for management of chronic illness and disease on the basis of expert reports, most efforts to improve one's health requires a change in behavior on the part of patients. These changes in behavior could reduce or eliminate the consequences of destructive behavior (smoking and alcohol), to encourage a healthier lifestyle (including regular exercise, safer sex), to increase useful adherence to medical regimens.

Therefore, most scientists are going to be considered in the context of treatment of acute or chronic disease of the active factor (precision and accuracy of treatment, testing of blood glucose and pressure, etc.). Most clinicians and psychologists, however, feel more confident diagnosing skills and make recommendations skills than the ability to ensure that a change of perception, cognition, and behavior of patients, ...
