    Age is a key factor that determines health outcomes related to COVID-19. Older individuals over age 60 are more susceptible to severe illness from the virus. Other risk factors that can increase the likelihood of health issues include behaviors and lifestyle choices such as smoking, obesity, and lack of exercise. These factors vary globally and impact populations differently depending on geographical, cultural, and health system factors.

    IT'S YOUR TURN

    For your activity I would like you to use the numbers 1-6 Key Concepts in Relation to Global Health
    discussed above for you to choose which is related to COVID19. For instance is age a factor in
    determining health with COVID19? Yes because it affects vulnerable age group like the old age, aged 60
    and above.

    Key Concepts in Relation to Global Health Answers

    1. The Determinants of Health Geographical location influences covid 19 health


    outcomes since it impacts groups and regions that
    are more susceptible to the disease, such as China
    and Indonesia.
    2. The Measurement of Health Status Maternal mortality rate is a gauge of health since it
    reveals the number of women and children who
    pass away after giving birth as a result of exposure
    to COVID.
    3. The importance of Culture and Health Traditional medicine is a factor because it relates
    to health practices, attitudes, knowledge, and
    beliefs that include plant, animal, and mineral-
    based medications, spiritual treatments, manual
    procedures, and exercises. These methods can be
    used alone or in conjunction to treat, diagnose, and
    prevent diseases, as well as to preserve health in
    order to fight covid.
    4. The global burden of disease The Global Burden of Illness (GBD), which may
    also be used to calculate fatalities in covid-19, is
    an indicator and a factor that specialists use to
    calculate the number of individuals who died
    prematurely as a result of a certain disease as well
    as the number of years they spent in a condition of
    "disability."
    5. The key risk factors for various health problems There are a number of factors that might increase
    the likelihood of being sick. A few examples of
    inherent risk variables are age, gender, and race.
    Other risk factors include behavioral or lifestyle
    problems, such as obesity, smoking, or inactivity
    (e.g., exposure to air pollution). Health risk factors
    that significantly affect health include smoking,
    binge drinking, taking illicit substances, not
    exercising enough, eating insufficient quantities of
    fruits and vegetables, and being overweight. The
    frequency of these factors varies considerably
    between geographical areas. These are risk factors
    that might make people more susceptible to certain
    health issues.
    6. The organization and function of health systems The WHO defines a health system as all
    institutions, organizations, and resources used to
    carry out operations with the primary goal of
    enhancing health. The public, private, traditional,
    and unorganized sectors make up the majority of
    national health systems. Drug usage, drinking,
    eating well and exercising, smoking, which is
    linked to one-third of cancer deaths, and these
    other lifestyle choices all have an impact on
    physical and mental health in countries with
    abundant natural resources. The finance, delivery
    of healthcare services, stewardship, and resource
    development are the primary roles of healthcare
    systems and organizations in the continuum of
    care. Provision of health care and resource
    development are two of these roles that are crucial
    and are further discussed in this chapter. The first
    step in the delivery of health care is strong
    planning and efficient organization.
