Not getting enough good-quality sleep. ... High amounts of stress. ... Health conditions. ... Genetics. ... Medicines. ... Your environment. While genetics play a role in determining an individual's Human-Induced Environmental Factors that susceptibility to obesity, environmental factors such as diet, physical activity, and exposure to endocrine disruptors can can cause Disease: influence the gut microbiota and contribute to the development of obesity. How disease is diagnosed (what tests need to be done?) Treatment/ Prevention Strategies for Disease The most common way to determine if a person is affected by overweight or obesity is to calculate BMI, which is an estimate of body fat that compares a person's weight to their height. The best way to treat obesity is to eat a healthy, reduced-calorie diet and exercise regularly. To do this you should: eat a balanced, calorie-controlled diet as recommended by your GP or weight loss management health professional (such as a dietitian) Chronic Diseases Poster: Plan Your Poster Directions For Poster: All members of your team will need to participate in your poster creation. Imagine you are a patient at the Doctor’s Office. You have been admitted in by the nurse and you are waiting for the Doctor. On the wall is a poster that shows a risk questionnaire, disease diagnosis, and treatment plan. Be sure to follow the criteria for success to ensure you have all pieces of your poster. Note: You are not putting everything from your graphic organizer into this poster Criteria for Success Poster includes at least 3 symptoms of the chronic disease. Poster lists at least 3 questions for a risk factor questionnaire (this indicates that your group knows the factors/life choices that influence the diagnosis and/or any human-induced environmental factors. Ex. “Do you or anyone you live with Group Names: _Yuvansh_________________________________ Date: 1/12/24_____ Period:6 ______ smoke cigarettes?” On a poster about Lung Cancer). Poster includes information about diagnosing the disease with a description and providing a treatment plan for the patient (this indicates that your group knows how factors/life choices impacts the diagnosis & strategies to choose positive influences & avoid negative influences) Rubric on next page Chronic Disease: Analyzing Influences Rubric 23-24 20-22 The response shows evidence of the ability to fully recognize influences/life choices that relate to risk factors for chronic disease. Accurately and completely explains how the influence impacts their chronic disease diagnosis. Able to choose positive influences and provide strategies to protect themselves from negative influences. The response shows evidence of the ability to influences/life choices that relate to risk factors for chronic disease. Provides a general explanation of how the influences impact their chronic disease diagnosis. Able to choose positive influences and attempt to provide strategies to protect themselves from negative influences. Group Names: _Yuvansh_________________________________ Date: 1/12/24_____ Period:6 ______ 15-19 14 The response shows some evidence of the ability to identify influences; The response does not provide effective analysis of how the influences impact their chronic disease diagnosis. The response shows little or no evidence of the ability to identify influences. *EVERY group member needs to submit a copy!
