m Common risk factors - unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use
Childhood risk - conditions before birth and early in childhood influence health in adult life.
Risk accumulation - Ageing is an important marker of the accumulation of modifiable risks for chronic
disease
Underlying determinants - a reflection of the major forces driving social, economic, and cultural change.
I.e. globalization, urbanization, population ageing, and general policy environment
Poverty - interconnected with chronic disease in a vicious circle increasing exposure to risks and
decreased access to health services
Primary prevention - aims to prevent disease. I.e. banning hazardous products, educating on
healthy/safe habits, immunizations
Secondary prevention - reduce impact of disease or injury that has already occurred. I.e. screening tests,
low-dose ASA, suitably modified work
Tertiary prevention - aims to soften impact of ongoing illness. I.e. cardiac or stroke rehab, support
groups, vocational rehab
Cross Cultural Health Care Program (CCHCP) - materials to improve cultural competency among health
providers to provide healthcare interventions and other cultural variants
Marginalization - Major cause of vulnerability referring to exposure to a range of possible harms
Variables at risk for marginalization - high risk health literacy, cultural barriers, low english proficiency
Cultural competence - a dynamic, fluid, continuous process whereby an individual, system or health care
agency find meaningful and useful care delivery strategies based on knowledge of the cultural heritage,
beliefs, attitudes, and behavior of those whom they render care
Norms & values - soecific practices that guide the actions and decisions of each person in a group based
on their culture. Can be learned or shared.

patient.

of having a disease such as cancer, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease
Genomics - study of all genes in the human genome as well as their interaction with other genes, the
individuals environment, and the influence of cultural and psychosocial factors
Pharmacogenomics - medication efficacy, toxicity, and drug interaction based on genetic variations
Components of genetic risk assessment - Accurate family history for 3 generations or genetic blood
testing to reveal genes
Relationship between genetics and environment - a patient may have a gene increasing risks of disease
while also being exposed to environmental factors that also increase risk for disease. i.e. lung cancer and
radon gas
Cultural competence - A dynamic, fluid, continuous process whereby an individual, system or healthcare
