Mind Map #10
genetic influence
less genetic variation between common racial/ethnic groups
certain genetic markers cluster by geographic ancestory
failure of genetic variation can cause increase in chronic diseases
genetic or environmental influence on genetic impact
environmental conditions affect gene expression
triggers neuroendocrine responses
biological structure and function
may be related to the extent to which persons are exposed to certain types of social/environmental contexts
Complex system approaches and the most difference
presence of influential feedback loops
negative or balancing feedbacks can regulate system behavior
generally deemed ignorable in PH research
can demonstrate nonlinear effects
effects distant in space and time
unanticipated affects
large effects of small changes
dependent outcomes
dependencies depend on individuals
feedback between behavior and environment
feedback between health and social circumstances
Early life factors
likely play a role in many diseases
childhood health may result in educational circumstances
better offspring health results in better education
greater influence on peer achievement
greater peer achievement may reinforce better offspring health
importance of early life contributions to health disparities
impact on exposure influences stress responses later in life
parental behavior can modify stress responsiveness of offspring
stress-generating social exposures affect many health outcomes
selection into social environments that reduce stress = balanced feedback loop
behavior of offspring toward its own offspring = reinforcing loop
magnifies stress response and health consequences = larger balancing feedback
approaches have shown individual and population health are directly related to the functionality of the systems
grow the system to study:
biological processes
interacts with the environment and individuals as a key element
social processes
go beyond artificial distinctions
"causes of disease in individuals"
"causes of disease in populations"
increasing frustration of traditional methods
health disparities
etiology and policy
