Definitions of Health
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity…The right to health is one of the fundamental rights to which every human being, without distinction of race, sex, language or religion, is entitled.” [WHO, 1946]

Definitions of Health
“….disease can only reasonably be defined as the absence of health…[the author therefore]…feels compelled to accept the consequent proposition that health is indeed the absence of disease…an individual is healthy when his level of function does not impede or determinably threaten to impede the performance of an acceptable social role” [Smith, 1977]

Definitions of Health
“Positive health is a mirage - it is evanescent and unattainable but worth pursuing. If health means anything, it resides in the pursuit, in engaging with these constantly changing and typically unpredictable environmental forces.” [Tones & Green, 2004]

Why Measure Health?
Identify major health problems How common?
When do they occur?
Where do they occur?
Who is affected?
Why do they occur?
Develop a response Prioritize & Meet Goals
Resources
Effectiveness

How Do We Measure Health?
Official Records Death
Birth
Hospitalizations
Surveys National
Local
Community
![Page 9: Module 1.2 health status](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032022/55a7319d1a28ab70028b4668/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Representation
Ask yourself, for a given health indicator/measure: How is the data/information obtained?
What types of diseases/events are likely to be well represented?
What populations might not be well represented?
What does this information really represent?
![Page 10: Module 1.2 health status](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032022/55a7319d1a28ab70028b4668/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Indicators of Health
Mortality Rates Number of deaths per 100,000 resident population
Death is a clearly defined event
Life Expectancy Based on mortality
Infant Mortality Rates Tells us about health of the mother, which also tells us
about the health of the society
Healthy-Related Quality of Life/Health-Adjusted Life Expectancy
![Page 11: Module 1.2 health status](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032022/55a7319d1a28ab70028b4668/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Definition: Health Disparities
"a significant disparity in the overall rate of disease incidence, prevalence, morbidity, mortality, or survival rate" in a specific group of people as compared to the general population.
Health differences between more and less advantaged social groups underlying advantage, position in social hierarchy
![Page 12: Module 1.2 health status](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032022/55a7319d1a28ab70028b4668/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why do health disparities occur?
Biology
Physical environment
Social environment
Cumulative impact (lifecourse)
Cultural differences in behaviors
Access to resources
Differential treatment
Being left out of the dialogue
![Page 13: Module 1.2 health status](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032022/55a7319d1a28ab70028b4668/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How Do Women Fare?
Live longer (Mortality) but more chronic disease and disability (Morbidity)
Differences exist among women by…
Class
Region
Race/Ethnicity

Class & Health
One of the strongest & most consistent findings is association between income & health No threshold - not just a question of basic needs
Income inequality associated with health inequalities
Bidirectional effects Poverty can lead to ill health but ill health can also lead to
poverty

Levels of Poverty
World Bank definition
Extreme Poverty = Living on less then $1.25/day
Moderate Poverty=Living on less then $2/day
Over 1 billion people live in extreme poverty worldwide
Majority of these are women
