Relationship Between Mortality Rate and Physical Health

This assignment delves into the topic of whether there is a significant relationship between mortality rate and physical health. It presents arguments from studies suggesting both positive and negative correlations, with some research highlighting the importance of promoting good physical health to reduce mortality rates in countries like the UK. The assignment also considers the limitations of these findings, including the impact of mental health issues and personal factors on individual well-being.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
AIM – To examine the significance of physical health among patients
OBJECTIVES
 To analyse the impact of poor physical health and
wellbeing in patient recovery
 To assess the impact of of the use of health promotion to
support patient recovery.
 To examine consequences or challenges faced by unhealthy patients.
 To determine ways to improve physical well-being of patients
RATIONAL
Physical fitness is a physiologic state of well-being which helps in allowing an individual
to meet the demands of daily living or that provides the basis for sport performance or both.
Physical fitness related to health involves the elements of fitness related to health status,
including cardiovascular fitness, metabolism, body composition and musculoskeletal fitness. It is
very important for patients to stay physically fit for recovering from a specific disease or illness.
Therefore, it is essential for analysing the significance of physical health or well-being in
patients to identify the challenges and recommendation related to health of patients suffering
from different types of disease.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES
Research design- A research design helps in increasing efficiency of research is making as
possible therefore yielding maximum information with nominal expenditure of effort, money and
time. It contributes in the smooth functioning of each and every research operation (Taylor,
Bogdan and DeVault, 2015.). The present research is a combination of both descriptive and
exploratory research design.
Sampling – A sample is a part or sub-set of the target population, sampling is a procedure of
choosing cases or subjects to be included in the study of the representative of the target
1

population. In the present research random sampling method will be used to collect appropriate
information related to the topic (Flick, 2015). The data will be collected from 30 doctors
working in different hospitals.
Data collection – There are two types of data collection method used in a research or
investigation, Primary and secondary data collection. In the present report research will use both
primary as well as secondary data collection method to collect detailed information related to the
topic (O'Leary,2017). The questionnaire form will be distributed to participants through E-mail.
Such tactics will be used for providing participants an ease in answering the questions.
QUESTIONNAIRE SYSTEM
In order to collect appropriate information related to the topic, survey will be conducted by
the researcher. The two methods which will be utilized for gathering the data through survey are
interview and questionnaire. Questionnaires will consists of close ended questions related to the
topic. Face to face interview will also be performed by interview for accumulating the
information relate to the subject. There is no big different between an interview and a
questionnaire. In the present research questionnaire method will be used to collect data from 30
doctors.
LITERATURE REVIEW
According to Warburton and Bredin, (2016) state of positive health keep disease away
from the people. A person is counted as physically healthy when he doesn’t have any serious
disease but also have good fitness level. Health promotion is beneficial tool which helps the
person in making effective control over their health. This can be done through good governance,
increasing health literacy and making the cities healthy. Government of UK has made effective
laws in order to improving fitness of people and making them aware towards it.
Health promotions is done with the intention to protect individuals and making them
understand with correct health behaviour. By this way risk of suffering from chronic diseases can
be minimised to great extent. As per the view of DeFina, (2015) Health promotion Process
which is not only limited to physical appearance of people but also include the metal strength
and behaviour of people. It mainly focuses on the fitness of people. It helps to increase the
2

energy level which means individual can do many activities with the full energy. Mental health
and emotional health are different from the physical health. Fitness means our body can
efficiently fight illness. It increases the quality of life. Participation in physical activity, helps to
improve body composition effectively. Physical health education plays important role in
promotion of physical health. If an individual is physically active, individual can cope up with
any challenges. Physical fitness requires some changes in the lifestyle like regular exercise,
avoidance of bad habits like smoking, drinking, junk food etc. fitness level increases by
participating in physical activity. It reduces the health problem like BP, heart problem, diabetes
etc. Exercise, yoga, meditation is good for strong body.
Factors that impact on physical health of person
As per the view of Naylor and et.al., (2016) exercise has become an important factor,
by doing regular exercise individual can reduce risk of a heart attack, manage weight better,
lower the risk of diabetes and cancers etc.. If person is engaged in regular physical activity that
helps in controlling body mass which makes them fit and improve their immune system By this
way person can live a longer life and a healthy life.
According to Heiman and Artiga, (2015) nutritional diet is more important instead of
dieting. People can improve their health by taking nutritional diet which includes fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, diary and the source of protein. But in the absence of proper diet
physical health can get badly affected.
Edelman, Mandle and Kudzma, (2017) stated that smoking is become part of trend in
present youth generation but smoking is the big reason of death. Smoking impact badly on
physical health as it increases the risk of cancer, asthma. But selection of good life style keeps
the person healthy and help in preventing own self from various dangerous diseases.
Relationship between mortality rate and physical health
O'Sullivan, Schmitz and Fulk, (2019) Physical health has significant relationship
with mortality rate, as in the recent time hospitals are offering advance medical services to
patients and also they encourage people to take care of their fitness by organising promotion
campaigns. This develops understanding of population and they take care of their wellbeing by
implementing correct diet, doing experience etc. This has helped in reducing the mortality rate in
United Kingdom. Poor physical health increases risk of diabetes, obesity which increase chances
of death. Earlier many young people were not paying attention of their health, most of the adults

fails to manage their fitness due to professional load. At that time many people have suffered
from such kind of severe diseases which has affected the death rate and death rate has been
increased. After that government of UK has taken step to promote health and they have
organised many health campaigns in order to make people aware about importance of having
good physical heath. This programs have supported in improving mortality rate in the country.
Warburton and Bredin, (2016) argued that there is no significant relationship between
mortality rate and physical health, as there are many people those who are physically fit but
suffering from many mental issues. Heavy workload creates burden on individual and individual
fails to deal with issues effectively. Furthermore, there are many young kids those attempt
suicide because of family issues, lack of love etc.
