Personal Narrative: Hypertension-To-Hip Ratio

Readers that don’t have a lot of time to work out can relate to this next quote; “those who did at least 120 minutes a week of aerobic exercise and some strength training had a Type 2 diabetes risk 65% lower than women who didn’t do either”(Oaklander 45). By including numbers and percentages she is trying to helps readers visualize what she is implying, for instance, if the readers do the math they will find out it only takes about 20 minutes a day to get results and to lower the risk of diabetes. Oaklander wants everyone to relate to her article that is why she incorporates the following study, “a 2017 study showed that when frail women over 60 who were obese worked out with resistance bands for three months, they dropped body fat and increased bone density”(Oaklander 45). Including facts like these one Oaklander reveals that strength training can help people of all ages and that you don’t necessarily need weights to get

Being obese can lead to other health issues that may include: heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, strokes, sleep apnea, certain cancers, kidney disease, osteoarthritis, and fatty liver disease. (National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease, 2015, para. 1-2). The measurement of someone’s body mass index can used to determine if one is considered overweight or

For example, numerous studies suggest that SDH account for between 30-55% of health

Ryan Hogan OT-525 9-21-15 While taking the health risk assessment I knew right from the start that some of the information would be off. The assessment asked about things such as blood pressure and cholesterol, and I do not know these measures right of the top of my head. While looking at the results, it stated that I am at risk of dying within the next 10 years. When comparing my risk percentages to the average 27 year old male, I did very well and was average compared to the others. However one factor that I scored above average on was the chance of a heart attack.

My systolic blood pressure is in the “pre-high blood pressure” range, this puts me at high risk of developing high blood pressure. I am at currently at risk of heart disease, breast, and colon cancer due to eating foods high in fat, especially red meat. My total cholesterol is 173 pounds, and HDL is 64 (moderate risk) and LDL slightly high at 100. Due to close relatives with diagnose of diabetes the risk assessment reported that I have a greater chance of getting type 2 diabetes. I was diagnosed recently with type 2 diabetes mellitus, my HgbA1C was 8.6 and fasting glucose 146 on 9/11/2015.

Moreover, early obesity is serious because of the lack of physical activity

1. After taking the heart disease risk assessment, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my assessed risk was “very much below average”. I have always thought of my lifestyle as above average in terms of health, and was glad to have this assessment reaffirm that. The only two improvements suggested were to eat more fish and more vegetable oil (which surprised, because I had thought that oils were to be avoided if possible). For the diabetes risk assessment, my assessment results were the same, “very much below average”.

The day i broke my hip I was at the indy 500 party, and then there has a zip line. My dad didn't see how high it was, but it was 8 feet. I was on the zip line, and I hung on to the handle

For as long as I can remember, my daily routine involved watching what I ate, when I ate, and then injecting myself with a syringe full of insulin. It also included pricking my battered fingers to test my blood sugar levels approximately six times a day. Due to the fact that I began these routines before I could even mutter a full logical sentence, I grew up believing that this routine was something that everyone did every day as well. I grew up thinking that my oddly scarred fingers and arms were ordinary and not unusual. But all of this changed when I entered the sixth grade.

A year ago I was rolled into the operating room not knowing what the next year would hold. I didn 't know if the procedure would work or if I would feel any different. A year after my heart surgery I can say I am migraine free and getting to live my life again! I lived my whole life with a small hole that I didn 't even know was effecting me the way it was and now I don 't have to worry. Couldn 't be more thankful for the great doctors and nurses at St. Francis who have given me things I didn 't know I was

A 2014 study published in the International Journal of Cardiology suggests that human aged 2 to 10 for more than two hours a day is 30 percent more likely to be at risk for blood pressure compared to those who spend less time for watching TV. Lack of physical activity increased the risk even more by fifty percent. The lead researcher Dr. Augusto

Introduction This essay will reflect on my personal experience, skills, and knowledge gained from my studies and practice of undertaking blood pressure (Bp) whilst completing my professional placement. Bp may be defined as a force of blood against vessel walls in the body, consisting of systolic and diastolic pressure measured in millimeters of mercury. (Waugh and Grant, 2016) Systolic pressure occurs when the hearts left ventricle contracts and forces blood into the aorta causing a heightened atrial pressure, while diastolic pressure refers to complete cardiac diastole, this is when the aortic valve closes and pressure is at its lowest between beats, blood moves into smaller corresponding vessels and the heart rests.

Discuss answer. (2 pt) I am at a low risk because I am between the age limit, I do not have any previous cardiac risk factors, I am not obese, and my levels are fairly normal. 5. Are you at risk for heart disease based on your current lifestyle?

A behavior that I struggle with and would like to change most is my unhealthy diet. When I looked back at my family medical history I learned that my grandfather died from a heart attack, and I don't want that to happen to me. I think it would help me lose weight and prevent me from getting heart disease if I stopped eating so much junk food. It is a challenge to eat healthy because usually the unhealthy food is cheaper and tastes better. I've tried to diet before

1. With the high and rising cost of healthcare, the Coast Guard is doing a great disservice to its members by not proactively promoting health and wellness before possible risk factors evolve into serious and costly health conditions. The Coast Guard has health focused programs implemented such as the Weight and Body Fat Standards Program, Health Promotion Program, and Personal Fitness Plan. However, Reference (a) announced the elimination of all Health Promotion Manager (HPM) billets and no longer requires the duties of the Unit Health Promotion Coordinator (UHPC) in regions where the Regional HPM has been reassigned.
