This is the second of two volumes presenting the proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Nutrition and Fitness. The papers in this volume consist of reviews as well as new data recommending new approaches for the prevention of chronic disease, taking into consideration the essential features of ancestral human existence - particularly during the Paleolithic period - during which the human genome was programmed. Western diets and current patterns of physical activity lead to imbalances in essential fatty acids and physical inactivity that promote obesity, insulin resistance, and variation in mood and mental health. Data are presented on the different effects of fatty acids on human metabolism, on the regulation of lipid metabolism during exercise, on the metabolic effects of endurance exercise, on mood and its relationship to physical activity and nutrition, and on the immune system. Moreover, it is clear that physical activity ensures nutritional well-being in the elderly. The application of this knowledge is essential to both Western cultures and societies in transition. These proceedings will be of interest to geneticists, nutritionists and dietitians, exercise physiologists, anthropologists, psychologists and psychiatrists, pediatricians, internists, general practitioners, health care providers, scientists in government and industry, policymakers, and governmental organizations.

This book is the first-known contributed volume focused exclusively on physical activity in the school setting. It describes the importance of regular physical activity for all preschoolers, children and adolescents, which contributes to preventing concerning public health problems such as childhood obesity and physical inactivity. Children and adolescents spend more time in school than anywhere else other than the home, making schools an excellent setting in which to offer quality physical activity education and possibilities for an active school day. Physical activity is associated with physiological, physical, and mental health benefits. School-based physical activity initiatives can also positively impact learning and classroom behavior. This book comprehensively reviews the latest research on physical activity and health in the school setting, presenting different perspectives from prestigious international authors representing 12 countries and involving 40 different researchers. It provides an in-depth description on how the school environment can be used to develop, implement, and evaluate strategies that promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior among these populations according to the educational stage (i.e., pre-primary, primary and secondary school). It also details how to implement each individual initiative based on successful investigations and how to plan, implement and evaluate a school policy. By implementing these strategies, schools can help create a culture of physical activity that promotes healthy habits and reduces the risk of chronic diseases. The volume's 16 chapters are organized in three parts, providing an overview of current knowledge. The authors discuss advances in theory and research and demonstrate how they are using that evidence to improve professional practice and collaborate with families. Part I: Movement Guidelines and Recommendations Part II: Monitoring and Evaluation in School Settings Part III: Physical Activity During School Hours Promotion of Physical Activity and Health in the School Setting makes an important contribution to the youth physical activity field for scholars and practitioners. The book is essential reading for advanced students, researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers with an interest in physical activity, youth sport, public health, physical education, or child and adolescent development and education.

This volume demonstrates advanced strategies in biomedical sciences and healthcare focused on suboptimal health conditions in the framework of Predictive, Preventive and Personalised Medicine (3PM/PPPM). Potential benefits in healthcare systems and for society at large include but are not restricted to an improved life-quality of major populations and socio-economical groups, advanced professionalism of healthcare-givers and sustainable healthcare economy. ​Reactive medical services applied to healthcare resulted in epidemics of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes mellitus type 2 with currently about a half of billion patients registered worldwide. Far-reaching consequences are cascading co-morbidities with poor prognosis such as severe cardiovascular and neurological disorders, eye pathologies (e.g., proliferative diabetic retinopathy as the world leading cause of blindness) and several types of cancer, amongst others. Corresponding socio-economic burden istremendous. The paradigm changes from reactive medicine to PPPM propagated by EPMA is, therefore, pivotal for advanced healthcare to improve the economy of medical services, life quality of populations and individual outcomes. To this end, individuals with suboptimal health condition comprise the target group for predictive diagnostics and cost-effective personalised treatments to protect affected individuals and sub-populations against health-to-disease transition, a window of opportunity for PPPM. This goal is of highest priority benefiting millions of people and societies at large.

This book is about the urgent need to have time for health. It's about why people don't exercise, rest or eat healthy food even when they know they need to. Time has become the prescription needed to halt chronic diseases, 30 minutes of physical activity every day is a minimum, but this book argues against telling people to do more. It explains why it's not laziness, ignorance or lack of motivation that's the problem for unhealthy lifestyles, and why so many people lack time for their health. The book connects ideas from economics, sociology, political economy and public health to work-family dilemmas, gender and social inequality. It ends by canvassing interventions and actions from the personal, to the workplace, health promotion and urban design.

This new edition describes the latest advances in health education and patients'self-management, addressing core questions such as: How can you motivate a patient to adopt a healthier lifestyle, and how can you support their self-management? Though there is a broad consensus within the nursing profession on the importance of health promotion and the promotion of self-management, nursing professionals often struggle with the underlying theoretical and practical aspects involved, as well as the right type of intervention to use and how to evaluate the results.The book departs from concepts of health. In the first chapters, it examines health at the micro-, meso- and macro-level, combined with epidemiological health indicators. The following chapters focus on prevention, health promotion and self-management, while also broadly discussing prevention.The book then turns to the development and purpose of, as well as plans for, health promotion and health education. The Intervention Mapping protocol is the starting point, addressing questions such as how to motivate a patient to other, healthier behavior. Subsequently, the field of health promotion is extended to disease prevention, patient education and self-management. On the basis of patients'needs, the book describes methods and interventions to promote self-management in detail. Self-management and chronic health problems are also highlighted, along with the patient's social network in connection with self-management and eHealth. Lastly, the book explores the relationship between nursing and health promotion, as well as disease prevention, diagnoses, interventions and care results.Additionally, this edition includes two trainings on'Promoting the self-management of the patient'and on'What is the role of the nursing professional in promoting self-management of the patient?'. This book is intended for bachelor and master courses for nursing professionals and is linked to the CanMeds competencies of health promoters and reflective evidence-based working professionals.

Der Band arbeitet theoretische Hintergründe, Merkmale und Leitlinien einer Caring Community (CC), also einer Gemeinschaft in einem Quartier, einer Gemeinde oder einer Region, in der Menschen füreinander sorgen und sich gegenseitig unterstützen, auf. Es existiert eine Vielzahl von Modellen, die unter CC subsumiert werden, allerdings fehlt bisher insbesondere die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung und ein entsprechender Diskurs. Diese Lücke will der vorliegende Band schließen und dabei neben grundsätzlichen Überlegungen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven auch Beispiele aus der Praxis einbeziehen.

This book provides an overview of the metabolism of dietary compounds by the intestinal microbiota, and on the consequences of such metabolic activity on host metabolism and physiological functions; both in intestinal and peripheral tissues.Over the last years, our understanding of the causal links between microbiota metabolic activity towards dietary and endogenous substrates and human health status has evolved extensively. In this context, the book starts with a comprehensive introduction devoted to the physiological and metabolic functions of the intestinal epithelium, followed by a part dedicated to the way intestine offers board and lodging for microbes being on a short- or long-term stay. The next chapters focus on the utilization of the available substrates from diet by the intestinal bacteria to produce numerous bacterial metabolites, and on the impact of such microbial activity, in the first place for communication between microbes, and for communication between microbes and lodging host. As will be detailed, this latter process of interkingdom communication leads to either beneficial or deleterious effects on intestinal physiology and metabolism. Special attention is given to selected pathophysiological processes namely chronic intestinal inflammation, colorectal carcinogenesis, and diarrhea. Then, the effects of modifications of bacterial metabolites and other bioactive compounds by the host after intestinal absorption, and consequences for peripheral tissue functions are presented.Summarizing the state of the art on what is known about the metabolic crosstalk between gut microbiota and human metabolism, as well as perspectives for further experimental and clinical research, this book provides a useful resource for researchers, professionals, and students with a background in biology, and/or nutrition, medicine, pharmacology, and for those which are involved in the agriculture and food production. By explaining technical terms all along the text, this book should be understandable also for interested non-specialists.

Das Wort Stress ist allgegenwärtig und ist ein Modewort geworden. Jeder ist gestresst, so scheint es, und das fortwährend. Dieses Buch befasst sich mit der Bedeutung von Stress in den Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften und untersucht zellulären Stress als Ursache für Stress und im Zusammenhang mit dem, was Menschen als Stress erleben. Wann empfinden wir in psychologischem Sinn Stress und wann zeigen wir physiologische Anzeichen von Stress in unserem Gehirn?Stress ist eine Abweichung von dem, was sich „normal“ und gesund anfühlt. Er kann durch soziale oder ökonomische Faktoren ausgelöst werden und kann chronisch werden, was erhebliche Auswirkungen auf den einzelnen Menschen und auf die Gesellschaft als Ganzes hat. Dieses Buch konzentriert sich auf Armut als eine chronische Ursache von Stress und untersucht, wie der Mangel an druckfreier Zeit, die Entbehrungen und die Unvorhersehbarkeit des Alltags sowie ein allgemeiner Mangel an Schutz zu destruktivem toxischem Stress führen. Dieser permanente Druck beeinträchtigt die kognitiven und sozialen Funktionen, die Gehirnentwicklung in der Kindheit und kann auch zu vorzeitiger Alterung führen. Was können die Wissenschaften für unser Verständnis von und unsere Reaktion auf Stress leisten? Was kann gegen toxischen Stress getan werden, sowohl auf persönlicher Ebene als auch in Bezug auf Strukturen und politische Maßnahmen?Das Buch richtet sich an alle, die sich für Stress, seine Ursachen und Folgen sowie für den Zusammenhang von Stress und Armut interessieren.

In Städten und Gemeinden wachsen Menschen auf, dort arbeiten, leben und sterben sie. Politik, Verwaltung und Zivilgesellschaft entscheiden unmittelbar über die Lebensbedingungen der Bewohner•innen. Nicht zuletzt deshalb gelten Gemeinden als ideale Lebenswelten der Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung. Zudem erreichen Programme, Maßnahmen und Aktivitäten der Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung vulnerable Zielgruppen in Settings wie Kindergärten, Schulen, Altenpflege-, Behinderteneinrichtungen und Betrieben. Im Lichte herausfordernder gesellschaftlicher Transformationen – wie dem Klima- und Energiewandel, der demografischen Entwicklung, der Digitalisierung, der Verkehrswende und der Ressourcenknappheit – kommt der Entwicklung der Kommune zur ökologischen Resilienz wesentliche Bedeutung für die Förderung der Bevölkerungsgesundheit zu. Gesundheitsförderliche kommunale Umwelten sind sowohl innovativ also auch integrativ und bieten Argumente im kommunalen Standortmarketing.

This book highlights novel and pragmatic health promotion efforts being adopted with boys and young men of colour (BYMOC) globally that apply a strengths-based approach. Men's adoption of risky health practices and reluctance to seek help and engage in preventive health behaviours have frequently been used to explain their poorer health outcomes, particularly among adolescent boys and young men, and disproportionately affecting BYMOC. Emerging literature on equity and men's health has conveyed that intersections among age, race, sexuality, socioeconomic status and geography contribute to a complex array of health and social inequities. There is growing evidence to suggest these inequities shape the health practices of BYMOC. Unfortunately, these health and social inequities can have negative lifelong consequences. An increased focus on reducing health inequities has led to a greater focus on health promotion actions that address social and cultural determinants of health.The vulnerabilities that BYMOC face are diverse and are reflected in a range of tailored health promotion interventions. Health promotion approaches that influence structural and systemic inequities experienced by BYMOC have been a prominent feature. In this volume, the editors and contributors purposefully bring together international research and promising practice examples from Australia, the United States, New Zealand, and Canada to celebrate health promotion strategies that help to improve the health and social trajectories of BYMOC. In doing so, the book moves beyond discussing the health inequities faced by this population, to talk about the practical actions to address them in context. Health Promotion with Adolescent Boys and Young Men of Colour brings together diffuse strands of scholarship relating to male health promotion, gender/masculinities and health, equity and men's health, and gender and youth development. The book is a unique and useful resource for practitioners, policy-makers, researchers and students with an interest in health promotion/public health, social work/social policy, education, men's health, youth development, Indigenous studies, and health and social equity.

Traditionell wurden die psychischen Probleme von Männern auf männlichen Starrsinn und starre Vorstellungen von Männlichkeit zurückgeführt. Es setzt sich jedoch zunehmend die Erkenntnis durch, dass die psychische Gesundheit von Männern durch eine Reihe von Faktoren wie familiäre, erzieherische, berufliche und rechtliche Probleme sozial bedingt ist. Diese und eine Vielzahl anderer sozialer Probleme wurden unter dem Begriff'Männerprobleme'zusammengefasst und werden zunehmend mit negativen Auswirkungen auf die psychische Gesundheit von Männern in Verbindung gebracht. Dieses Buch gibt einen Überblick über die psychische Gesundheit von Männern und damit zusammenhängende Männerthemen, wobei ein von der öffentlichen Gesundheit inspirierter Ansatz verfolgt wird, der die Forschung über den Zusammenhang zwischen sozialen Belastungen und psychischen Gesundheitsergebnissen untersucht. Das Buch ist insofern einzigartig, als es durch die Auswertung der sozialwissenschaftlichen und psychiatrischen Literatur Männerprobleme, die psychische Gesundheit von Männern und soziale Determinanten in einer ganzheitlichen und integrierten Weise zusammenfasst und untersucht.In diesem Buch erörtert der Autor die sozialen Determinanten der psychischen Gesundheit von Männern sowie begleitende psychosoziale Interventionen und geht dabei über eindimensionale Diskussionen über Männlichkeit hinaus. Zu den behandelten Themen gehören:Die sozialen Determinanten des männlichen SuizidsAufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätsstörung bei jungen Männern: Die Medikalisierung der Jungenschaft?Warum nehmen Männer nur selten formelle psychiatrische Dienste in Anspruch? Eine Analyse sozialer und systemischer Hindernisse für die Versorgung und Diskussion vielversprechender männerfreundlicher PraktikenDas Geschlechtergefälle in der Bildung: Zum Verständnis der mangelnden schulischen Leistungen junger Männer und ihres Zusammenhangs mit negativer psychischer GesundheitBeschäftigung, Arbeitslosigkeit und Fragen des Arbeitsplatzes im Zusammenhang mit der psychischen Gesundheit von MännernMen's Issues and Men's Mental Health: An Introductory Primer ist eine unverzichtbare Lektüre für Angehörige der Gesundheitsberufe und Anbieter sozialer Dienste wie Psychiater, Psychologen, Sozialarbeiter, Ergotherapeuten, Berater, Lehrer, Mitarbeiter von Wohlfahrtsverbänden, Fachleute für Gesundheitsförderung und Beamte des öffentlichen Gesundheitswesens.

While research teams are producing relevant and valid knowledge for health promotion, there is not yet a structured manual and distinct field of health promotion research. This timely'state-of-the-art'handbook contributes to the structuring of such a field of research. This collection of original contributions explores the major epistemological, methodological, and ethical challenges facing health promotion research. It brings together experts from different'research traditions'that coexist in the field. The handbook covers the existing knowledge production and sharing practices to delineate the'discipline'and its agenda for future research. Ultimately, it contributes to the creation of a global community of health promotion researchers. The handbook is organized by four types of practices (what people actually do) studied in health promotion; the practices of: Individuals and populations in relation to their health and itsdeterminantsProfessionals who intervene to improve population healthPolicy-makers and institutions involved in the advocacy, design, and implementation of policies and programsResearchers and innovators (academic scholars and global agencies) through which investment in research and production of evidence-based guidelines are made. Global Handbook of Health Promotion Research, Vol. 1: Mapping Health Promotion Research is a highly relevant reference tool for researchers and graduate students in health promotion, public health, education and socio-health sciences; practitioners in health, medical, and social sectors; policy-makers; and health research administrators.

This book represents a multidisciplinary and international vision across different countries in Europe that are facing similar challenges about ageing and quality of life in present cities. It is divided in three main topics from the global context of health in cities and reduction of health inequities to the current research of different study cases, focusing on residential models and the relationship with the built environment. The third chapter illustrates best practices with some study cases from different cities in Europe. Friendlier environments for older people come together with the need of innovation, smart and updated technologies, healthier environments and mitigation of climate change. Health re-appears nowadays as one of the priorities for urban planning and design, not only for the communicable diseases and the effect of the pandemics, but also for the non-communicable diseases, that were also triggering the wellbeing and equity of our cities. Indeed, the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted health inequities and vulnerabilities of those areas of the city that were already deprived and facing other health problems, such as obesity, diabetes, social isolation, respiratory problems or mental health issues, specifically applying for vulnerable groups. Older adults have been one of the most affected groups from the pandemic's threats and derived consequences. In this context, the care crisis arises intertwined with the design and planning of our cities, where there is an urgent need to regenerate our environments with a perspective of sustainability, inclusion, and health prevention and promotion. From the global urban challenges to the specific contextualisation of each city and study cases, each chapter offers an updated insight of the main questions that we should consider to address urban planning and design from the perspective of ageing and social inclusion in European cities.

Substance misuse and addictions are a public health issue. They affect the well-being of each community and nation as a whole. It is, therefore, necessary to identify, educate, and treat individuals who are addicted to substances. Policies and procedures go hand-in-hand with public health education and safety. The science behind the public health issues of one drug may be applicable to other drugs as well. However, marshalling all of the aforementioned information into a single source is somewhat difficult due to the wide array of material. The Editors address this by compiling the research in this single reference work that serves as a'one-stop-shopping'approach to everything readers need to know about the scientific basis of public health and addictions and agents of misuse.Apart from active agents that have a plant or chemical basis, there is a need to consider that there are other forms of addiction which may havecommon modes of causality or prevention. These include food addiction, gaming, gambling, and other non-drug addictions. These types of addiction may be related to the addiction of drugs.The Handbook of Substance Misuse and Addictions: From Biology to Public Health offers a holistic understanding of the relationship between public health and substance misuse. The text provides a common platform upon which other forms of addiction or substance misuse can be understood and treated. Addiction processes involve understanding the biological processes as well as behavior, psychology, sociology, and public health, all of which are interlinked. This Handbook is a useful reference for lecturers, students, researchers, practitioners, and other professionals in public health, addiction science, epidemiology, health education, health promotion, and health sciences.

This book aims to explore technology solutions and systems to help people in remote areas in order to improve medical care. Access to health care services is critical to good health, but residents of remote areas face a variety of access barriers. The obstacles faced by health care providers and patients in rural areas are very different from those in urban areas. This could be caused by economic factors, cultural and social differences, educational deficiencies, lack of recognition by legislators, and the sheer isolation of living in inland areas, all of which conspire to create health care disparities and hinder people living in inland areas in their struggle to lead normal, healthy lives. Based on available analyses, further progress is needed to promote appropriateness of care, address geographic imbalances in health care use, and prevent the spread of risk factors including chronic diseases and regular health problems. To eradicate these problems, it is essential to develop a telemedicine system with ICT integration that will help patients in inland areas by using contemporary technologies: it would thus be possible for patients to meet their goals using these systems even without the presence of a physician since authenticated prescriptions are generated by doctors and can be transmitted to patients electronically. The volume will contain a number of ideas from researchers who are already working to find solutions and will give insights into exploring innovative methods and new systems developed.

This book articulates a clear four-phase process for planning, creating, implementing, and evaluating multilevel community health promotion interventions using a framework focusing on determinants from the individual, physical, and social environments. It breaks down each phase into detailed yet easy-to-follow steps that review important procedures, like identifying a behaviorally based problem within a community, choosing the underlying behavioral determinants to be targeted by the intervention, selecting intervention components and strategies, and evaluating outcomes to improve and further disseminate the intervention. Guidelines for engaging community members in the entire process, building teams, developing a manual of procedures, conducting pilot studies, and the importance of formative and process evaluation are reviewed as well. Also presented are instructions for adapting interventions for new communities. Feature boxes highlight key information and practical takeaways for students and interventionists. Detailed case examples that highlight various health promotion efforts bring the four-phase design process to life, including a recurring example about a school-based intervention to reduce student consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages that follows the process from beginning to end.

This book demonstrates the efficacy of a multidisciplinary intervention strategy for promoting active and healthy ageing, with the assistance of dedicated technological resources. Taking an applied approach, this book promotes active and healthy ageing through the implementation of an intervention model based on the comprehensive geriatric approach (AGA). The proposed AGA model, entitled AGA@4life, is based on a holistic and multidisciplinary individual assessment protocol, with the consequent design and implementation of intervention strategies tailored to each individual, aimed at preventing frailty and functional, cognitive and social decline of the elderly. Intervention actions focus on personalized exercise programs, nutrition education, cognitive stimulation, co-morbidity monitoring, therapeutic counselling, and overall promotion of well-being. This book will be of interest to researchers, professionals, and students working in ageing and health, gerontology, and preventative and holistic approaches to well-being.

This edited collection of data and perspectives takes a fresh approach to gun violence prevention by addressing the question, “why are we losing the war on gun violence in America?” Although successes and failures in the prevention of gun violence are examined, it is a war we are losing, due to restrictions on research funding, entrenched historical perspectives, structural violence, and perhaps differing priorities or views on what is right or wrong.Gun violence is a public health crisis. It remains politicized and has been paralyzed with inaction. In the chapters, the authors write candidly about the challenges that have thwarted gun violence prevention, as well as highlight possible strategies for progress to save lives. Critical areas explored among the chapters include:Gun Violence, Structural Violence, and Social JusticeSchool Shootings: Creating Safer SchoolsMental Illness and Gun ViolenceUnderstanding the Political Divide in Gun Policy SupportThe Second Amendment and the War on GunsThe Impact of Policy and Law Enforcement Strategies on Reducing Gun Violence in AmericaYouth Gun Violence Prevention OrganizingSmart Guns Don't Kill PeopleWith this compendium, the editors and authors hope to bridge the growing gap between groups or ideologies, and create common ground to discuss workable solutions.

Das Buch weckt Hoffnung auf Selbstbestimmung und zeigt Wege auf, wie Teilhabe am gesellschaftlichen Leben gelingen kann. Angesprochen werden alle Menschen, die an gesundem und aktivem Altern interessiert sind und die wissen wollen, was wir heute tun müssen, damit Alter nicht länger mit Einsamkeit, Isolation und Leben im Pflegeheim gleichgesetzt wird.

This book comprehensively and critically discusses chronicity as a crucial challenge for the future of medicine in an era of aging populations and the steady growth of non-communicable comorbidities. It describes how health systems that are still designed and based on the treatment of acute diseases are suffering from crowded emergency rooms and growing conflicts between patients, while medical staff increasingly face frustration and the risk of burn-out. The author not only shares her own clinical and personal experience in the care of end stage COPD or ALS patients with respiratory insufficiency, but also explores how primary care, incremental medicine and initiative medicine can improve the care provided for these patients. In turn, the book examines how developing countries are facing the chronicity issue in their daily struggles with communicable diseases like diarrhea and infections, and with non-communicable ones like obesity, diabetes and asthma. It also discusses the cost-related challenges that could accompany a possible paradigm shift from chronic to curable status, as was the case with hepatitis C. Due to the inevitable link between chronicity and end of life, the author tactfully addresses palliative care, focusing on the importance of shared decision-making as well as a full awareness of the future scenarios. Uniquely reflecting life-long clinical experience and stimulating discussion on a highly topical issue, this book appeals to a wide readership, from health professionals through caregivers to patients with chronic conditions.
