Physical Activity Trends

• Healthy People 2010 goal is to increase daily
  physical activity by 30 in adults.
• As of now 60 of the population is not active
  enough
• 23- 29 not active during leisure time
• Women report less physical activity during
  leisure time compared to men
• 50 of youth are not vigorously active

Mississippi Health Facts

• Ranked 49th in Health this year when compared to
  other states
• We have the highest infant mortality among states
  10.5d eaths/1000 live births highest in the
  country
• 27 above the average state for heart disease
• Highest Heart Disease Rate 352.5 deaths per
  100,000 population
• Ranked 45th in all combined risk factors
• Prevalence of smoking increased from 23.5 tp
  25.3
• Infectious disease has increased from 27.3 o 35.2
  cases per 100,000 population

Diseases associated with Lack of Physical activity
6
Hypokinetic Disease

• coronary heart disease
• hypertension
• hypercholesterolemia
• cancer
• obesity
• musculoskeletal disorders

7
Recommendation for Physical Activity

• Every U. S. adult should accumulate 30 minutes or
  more of moderate-intensity physical activity on
  most, preferably all, days of the week

8
Cardiovascular Disease

• CVD responsible for more than 42 of all deaths
• 1/6th are under age 65
• one out of every four Americans have some form of
  CVD

9
Unalterable Risk Factors

• Age
• Gender
• Race
• Heredity

10
Alterable Risk Factors

• Obesity
• Diabetes Mellitus
• High Fat Diet
• Type-A Personality
• Physical Inactivity
• Cholesterol Level
• Low Levels of Cardiorespiratory Fitness
• High Blood Pressure

11
Coronary Heart Disease(CHD)

• CHD accounts for more deaths annually than any
  other disease.
• Higher in Blacks than in Whites, Hispanics has a
  lower prevelance than Whites.
• Caused by a lack of blood supply to the heart
  muscle resulting from atherosclerosis.

12
Atherosclerosis

• A progressive, degenerative disorder.
• result of a build up of fatty deposits and plaque
  in the intima of the coronary artery
• restricts blood flow to the heart producing
  angina
• can result in myocardial infarction
• occlusion of the coronary arteries by 80 or more

13
Hypertension

• Most common form of CVD
• A persistent elevation of blood Pressure
• Normal lt140 systolic / lt90 diastolic
• Blacks and Hispanics have a greater prevelance
• up to age 55 men have greater prevelance

14
Hypercholesterolemia
15
Smoking

• Increases heart rate and blood pressure
• Inhibits naturally occurring anticoagulants
• May cause irregular heart beats or arrythmias
• Increases risk of developing atherosclerosis

16
Diabetes Mellitus

• 90 - 95 of individuals with Diabetes have type
  II or non-insulin dependent diabetes
• Usually the result of overeating and
  underexercising
• Physical activity may reduce the risk of NIDDM
  and attenuate its affects

17
Negative consequences of Obesity

• Increase Risk for
• CHD
• Hypertension
• Stroke
• NIDDM
• High Cholesterol

• Other Negative Effects
• several types of cancer
• osteoarthritis
• degenerative joint disease
• menstrual irregularities
• pyscholgical burdens

18
Risk Classification

• Health Evaluation
• detects presence of disease
• assesses the initial disease risk classification
