BEHAVIORAL FACTORS THAT AFFECTS COMMUNITY HEALTH
Health is probably one of the most important factor in our standard of living and we spend our entire life to live a good healthy living conditions, we seek medical attention in time of need and we even allotted at least a percentage of our budget in health insurance and other related issues just to maintain our physical conditions, in fact we seek opportunity and money for food everyday which is again a part of our health. We may or we may not know it. But basically there are certain issues that we have often neglected and that largely contributes to affect our health and the community that were living in and everyone maybe involve here. The silent problem that affects our community is caused by people living in the community the problem underlying this conditions is the discipline of the people.
Dengue is a disease that is widespread in the community and it is scattered around the world from various countries and nations including the Philippines, Thailand, Pakistan, Brazil etc. There are also various reports of this disease in USA and other African countries; the community suffers because of mosquitoes that penetrate the local residents. In America alone there are 890,000 cases while there are 80,000 cases in Venezuela including casualties and death in 2005 in the later years. As of today there are various fogging system, smoking and cleaning of inlet canal and some water stagnant that mosquitoes may concentrate on propagation basically it is the cleanliness and sanitation that is needed to provide a dengue free surroundings that has not been manifested earlier by the residence that causes thousands of life but now they knew it and their behavior changes.
Take a look at the garbage, the disposal behavior of people in the community and villages are definitely getting worst they prefer to threw their garbage everywhere within the community while on the streets that goes through the rivers that poisoned them and the fishes. This has been the reasons why there are various diseases has been widespread within the community, garbage that are toxic and harmful like chemicals may create an airborne diseases that can be easily inhaled by people. Various insects even detoxify them, it may perish and smells unhealthy odor that may cause tract infections especially among children who have a lower tolerance in decays.
Animals and people may eat some and poison them. Garbage that are non bio-degradable continues to pollute the community while waste materials that are biodegradable goes to air and water and pollutes them the water that we drink and the air that we inhale may not be safe because of the behavior of the residence within the community. Just imagine the vast majority of people, who are doing these, collectively they are the major contributor of the climate changes that has been the result of major calamity including typhoon, earthquake and tsunami that manifested within the year from various countries.
Alcohols and beverages in the commercials also pollutes the minds of the people that they have become their habit to get drunk at least by weekend and drink again during weekdays at home and this has been the reasons why hospitals is flooded with patients that has various problems from excessive alcohol. Men and women in the USA alone have 80,000 records of death due to alcohol related incident according to Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). They have exhausted and deluded their brain to socialization and their pockets are empty and now they have risk their life.
Smoking is another behavioral disease in the community that is hard to prevent. People seem to be addicted to smoking and later on they suffered. Smoking kills and smokers knew it but they still risk their life simply to feel the comfort of their addiction, there are certain euphoria and a feeling of freshness they felt during smoking. But this has cause heart attack, certain types of cancer and other lung problem. Knowing that they are smoking nicotine, carbon monoxide and thousands of harmful chemicals they can kill the body and worst burn their money. The people who surround them are also affected to destroy their health, pregnant smokers may suffer from their weight gain, and they may suffer premature birth and fetal syndrome. People may die earlier in fact smoking kills them slowly without them knowing but they still insist in their behavior.
Take a look at the vehicles and the people who never check their cars that exhaust greatly fumes, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and other hazardous air pollutants, toxics and chemical compounds that has been the reasons for birth defects, cancer and other serious illnesses caused by air pollution coming from their vehicles. Basically is this kind of smoke emission and others smokes coming from the factories that float in the air that reaches the ozone layer to destroy the earth and it is irreversible no matter what we do. Industrialization and globalization is not largely the problem but is it the lifestyle of the people and their behavior.
