2CASE REPORT
Introduction
The concept of human development encompasses the procedure of enhancing the
opportunities and freedoms of individuals, with the aim of improving the overall health and
wellbeing (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2018). This case study focuses on a person Mr Khin. The
purpose of conducting an interview for collecting details on human development of the
person was associated with the intent of obtaining a sound understanding of the different
internal and environmental factors that govern the health and wellbeing of the person. In
addition, the case study also involved conducting a naturalistic observation that helped in
observing the client in their natural environment.
Background
Mr Khin is a retired personnel and currently stays with his wife, elder daughter, son-
in-law and one grandson. He retired from job 15 years ago. He has another daughter and son
who reside abroad. The daughter who stays with him is currently employed as a registered
nurse at the National University Hospital (NUH). Following his retirement he lives a happy
and satisfied life, as he is able to spend quality time with his family members that could not
be accomplished all through his employment years. He had been employed in a reputed
position at his workplace and received a good amount of salary. There is absence of any
fiscal constraint in the family.
Biological Factors
Human development is regulated by a plethora of biological factors that commonly
include gender, nutrition, and genetics, thus creating an important impact on the course of
development of an individual. An analysis of the case scenario suggests that Mr Khin had a
normal birth without any severe complications and there was no significant history of any
disabilities or genetic disorders. However, his sister suffers from hypertension and diabetes
mellitus, and his brother has gout and hypertension. There is mounting evidence for the fact
that genetic inheritance of traits that are specific for particular diseases often determines the
phenotype in the manner they get expressed in the progeny (Diamond et al., 2014). In
addition, the genotype also acts in the form of a blueprint during growth and development of
children and the aggregation of genes often determines the presence and manifestation of
diseases in the child. Genetic factors are likely to influence the blood pressure and associated
cardiovascular complications in individuals (Zhu, Gu & Xu, 2016). In addition, the risks for

hypertension increase under circumstances when heredity is present in combination with
unhealthy lifestyle habits.
Owing to the identification of several genetic variants in genome-wide association
studies (GWAS), it can be suggested that presence of hypertension in his siblings have also
made Mr Khin likely to get affected by this condition at a later stage in life (Lu et al., 2014).
He is currently under the prescribed medication of multi-vitamins each day, following
breakfast. His weight is roughly 75kg and height is 170cm. On calculating the body mass
index (BMI) of the client from the mass and height, it was found to be 26.0 kg/m2. Owing to
the fact that BMI from 18.5 to 25 is considered normal weight, it can be suggested that Mr
Khin is overweight (Holyhealthyumc.com, 2016). Being overweight is characterised by the
accumulation of fat in the body, thus leading to a range of negative health outcome. Owing to
the fact that overweight increases risks of death, cancer and chronic health complications, Mr
Khin is at an increased likelihood of suffering from health problems that might worsen his
quality of life (Fujioka, 2015). However, he mentions performing good amount of physical
activity and also uses stairs, in place of lift.
Adherence to a healthy diet that comprises of fresh fruits and vegetables also suggest
that adequate efforts are being taken by him in order to enhance his health and wellbeing,
while eliminating the risk factors for chronic health problems (Milte, Thorpe, Crawford, Ball
& McNaughton, 2015). He also avoids consumption of alcohol or sweetened beverage. Time
and again it has been established that increased consumption of sweetened drinks makes
people more susceptible to diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular problems (Ma et al., 2015).
Despite the influence of smoking and alcohol consumption on tachycardia and tachypnoea,
taking into consideration the fact that he refrained from smoking or drinking habits several
years ago, it is less likely that he will suffer from any major chronic disorders (Brunner et al.,
2017).
Psychological Factors
There is mounting evidence for the fact that human development is governed by a
range of psychological factors that commonly include individual-level functioning that create
a significant influence on the mental state of a person (Ryan & Deci, 2017). In addition,
children are often dependent on the nurturing and care they are subjected to, and this largely
depends on the capability of the caregivers. Absence of personalised care during the initial
stages of life have been found to play a crucial role on the growth, health, cognitive capacity

and personality development of individuals (Music, 2016). In addition, responsiveness and
sensitivity are major features that contribute to positive development and health outcomes.
Mr Khin obtained educational attainment till a graduate engineering degree and worked till
the age of 47. In addition, he is also able to accurately perform the activities of daily living.
Owing to the fat that the inability or capability of a person to successfully conduct ADL acts
as a noteworthy measurement of the functional status, and presence of disability in elderly
people, it can be suggested that Mr Khin was not suffering from any disability, and
demonstrated good health condition (Dunlop et al., 2015). However, one major change in his
daily functioning can be associated with a reduction in his learning activity and memory,
concomitant with forgetting things that are not paid attention.
Deficits in learning capacity, attention and memory can be accredited to the onset of
dementia, an umbrella term that refers to gradual and long-term reduction in the ability to
remember, think and act (Robinson, Tang & Taylor, 2015). In addition, the condition also
brings about a reduction in motivation and often gives rise to difficulties in language
processing and motivation. Although Mr Khin does not demonstrate any lack of motivation
or low mood, and appears satisfied with his life, when compared to counterparts of same age
who have become a burden to their family members, it can be cited that he has been affected
with early state dementia. He does not have any monetary concerns and also maintains
contact with his colleagues, while meeting them each month. According to Paunio et al.
(2015) depression and retirement are intricately associated and the failure in the reality of life
in living up to promise, after several years of employment often results in the onset of
persistent low mood among the elderly. However, an analysis of the case scenario suggests
that the client was looking forward to eventually being able to pay concentration and
attention on things that he considered pleasurable.
Development of social connections, a sense of purpose and a steady routine were
some common factors that increased his quality of life and wellbeing, and prevented the onset
of any mental disorder. Besides enhancing the wellbeing of a person, social connection also
creates an impact on the immune system, increases the chance of longevity, facilitates easy
recuperation from diseases, and enhances self-confidence, self-esteem, and empathy towards
others (Cacioppo & Cacioppo, 2014). Thus, it is extremely appearing that the health of Mr

5CASE REPORT
Social Factors
Time and again it has been emphasised that there are numerous social determinants
that create an influence on health at manifold levels throughout the course of life of an
individual. In addition, these determinants or factors encompass the conditions in which
people take birth, work, grow, live, and subsequently age in the community (Braveman &
Gottlieb, 2014). Unequal distribution of such social factors have been found to create a
significant damaging experience, and are often considered as a combination of
underprivileged social policies, and prejudicial economic provisions (Marmot & Allen,
2014). Following conduction of the interview, and the naturalistic observation of the client, it
was identified that Mr Khin’s family comprised of his wife, two daughters, one son, one son-
in-law and one grandson. While his son and one daughter were presently employed overseas,
his other daughter was an employed registered nurse at the paediatric ward of National
University Hospital (NUH). It has often been found that socioeconomic status (SES) acts in
the form of a significant sociological and economic measure of the work experience of an
individual, in relation to the position based on earners' education, household income, and
occupation.
Research evidences have confirmed the fact that low income and poor educational
attainment are strong predictors of an array of mental and physical health problems, together
with respiratory distress, coronary disease, arthritis, and schizophrenia (Williams, Priest &
Anderson, 2016). Furthermore, attaining education in families that belong to higher
socioeconomic section of the society, is stereotypically emphasised as much more significant,
both in the local community, as well as within household (Martens et al., 2014). In contrast,
poor SES in a family is often characterised by considering shelter, food, and safety as
priorities, thus forcing education to take a backseat (Nandi, Glymour & Subramanian, 2014).
Hence, the fact that Mr Khin and his family members were well educated, and in possession
of good and respectable employment positions, provides a clear indication of their high SES.
This played a significant role in lowering their risks from suffering from poor health
outcomes.
He suggested having regular contact with his sister and brother, and often paid them
weekly visits. This is directly associated with the factor of social support which acts in the
form of actuality and perception that a person is being care for, has necessary assistance from
other family members and is a part of a social network (Holt-Lunstad & Uchino, 2015). In
addition, he also demonstrates appreciation and thankfulness towards all family members

who play an active role in supporting and helping each other. When one of the family
members has difficulty or stress, the whole family tries to solve the problem and provides
moral supports. There is mounting evidence for the fact that elderly individuals having
associations with social network are often found to show elevated self-esteem, with a reduced
likelihood of having any decline in their health status (De Choudhury & De, 2014).
Furthermore, social support is also identified to function simultaneously as a problem-based
(getting tangible evidence that aids resolve a problem) and emotion-based coping tactic (used
to control emotional rejoinders that originate due to stressful events (Wang, 2016). Thus,
owing to the fact that Mr Khin is integrated in a positive relationship in his social network
that comprises of his immediate family members and siblings, he demonstrates a positive
health and wellbeing, with an enhanced quality of life.
Predictions for Next Five Years
Taking into consideration the current biological, social, environmental and
psychological factors that are prevailing, in relation to Mr Khin, it is predicted that over the
next five years, he is less likely anticipated to suffer from any major health abnormalities.
Owing to the fact that he belongs to a high SES of the society and receives allowance after
his retirement, besides obtaining financial help from the children, he will not face any major
difficulties in gaining access to primary and community based healthcare resources. Although
poor educational attainment and low economic background acts as an impediment in gaining
access to amenities that are responsible for care delivery to the patients, Mr Khin and his
family members have high education, thereby reducing his chance of reporting poor health
outcomes, due to insufficient access.
Furthermore, his engagement and cordial relationship with neighbours and siblings
will create a significant positive impact on his health, and reduce his susceptibility to several
diseases like anxiety, depression, cardiovascular complications, and cancer. He might also
develop hypertension owing to its hereditary nature. It should also be taken into consideration
that he performs physical activity and adheres to a good diet. Thus, there is a reduced
likelihood of any chronic health disorder, provided he is able to effectively manage his BMI.
However, if left undiagnosed and untreated, the presenting complaints of forgetfulness and
difficulty in attention might aggravate, thus leading to the onset of dementia, which in turn
would create a significant impact on his health, and increase burden for his family members.

Conclusion
To conclude, the case study involved Mr Khin who did not manifest any major
deterioration in his health and wellbeing. Although conducting a naturalistic observation and
interview facilitated gaining an insight into major aspects of his life that might have shaped
the current scenario, there were few limitations. The interview based data collection process
was time-consuming. In addition, controlling outside variables during naturalistic observation
was difficult, and it generated a vast amount of subjective data.

was no bad memory about him in his work life and every one from his work respected him.
Moreover, as it was his passionate job, satisfactory salary and position, he has no regret about
his work. After his retirement, he was not used to stay at home whole day. But now, he was
happy as he could spend more time with family. When he was working, he left to work at
about 8am in the morning and came back home at 6pm in the evening. He had not much time
to spend with family. He had no financial worry as he was still getting retirement allownace
and financial support from his children.

and does some light exercise. He said one lucky thing is he has no medical history such as
hypertension, diabetes mellitus and high cholestrol. He was very proud for it as well. His
mother and father was passed away since he was 20 years old in an accident. He has 3
siblings, one sister and one brother. He is the youngest. When his parents passed away, his
brother and sister supported him to study in colleage. Hence, he did not have to worry about
his education and living. He is satisfied that 3 of the siblings are still alive and healthy. He
taught me to live positively in any life situation. Life is up and down.
