Social determinants of health:
Goals for lecture 3:
●Review some key ideas from last week
●Establish familiarity with SDOH
○Social and community networks
○Living and working conditions
○Socio-economic, cultural and environmental conditions
Determinants of health:
Last week:
Individual lifestyle factors:
●Smoking, alcohol, nutrition, depression, sleep, support, screening, BMI, physical activity
Lung cancer:
●Lung cancer has recently surpassed breast cancer as the leading cause of death due to cancer in
women
●Tobacco smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer
●Non- smokers who exposed to tobacco smoke by living with a smoking partner are estimated to
have 30 to 50% increased risk of developing lung cancer themselves
●Does knowing the consequences make you stop?
●Death in cancer for men = 42,600, women = 38,200
●Some cancer are sex specific, prostate cancer
Morbidity vs. Mortality:
●It is estimated that 28,600 Canadians will develop lung cancer in 2017
○Morbidity is the prevalence or incidence of disease in a specific population
●Approximately 1 in 14 Canadian men will die from lung cancer
●Approximately 1 in 18 Canadian women will die from lung cancer
○Mortality is the number of deaths across a specific population
○Co- morbidity are cases where people have more than one simultaneous condition
■More than one illness
Smoking:
●Worldwide, smoking rates among men tend to be 10 times higher than women
●However, women generally have less success in quitting the habit, have more relapses than
men, and nicotine replacement therapy may be less effective among women
●Smoking will help you avoid sweets, and keep your slender figure (over 100 years ago)
●Back then people thought it was healthy and good to keep you skinny and good looking
Theory of planned behaviour:
●Theoretical framework related to lifestyle choices
●Attitudes towards behaviour involving subject norms

Lung cancer has recently surpassed breast cancer as the leading cause of death due to cancer in women. Tobacco smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer. Non- smokers who exposed to tobacco smoke by living with a smoking partner are estimated to have 30 to 50% increased risk of developing lung cancer themselves. Death in cancer for men = 42,600, women = 38,200. Some cancer are sex specific, prostate cancer. It is estimated that 28,600 canadians will develop lung cancer in 2017. Morbidity is the prevalence or incidence of disease in a specific population. Approximately 1 in 14 canadian men will die from lung cancer. Approximately 1 in 18 canadian women will die from lung cancer. Mortality is the number of deaths across a specific population. Co- morbidity are cases where people have more than one simultaneous condition.
