Cardiovascular Disease: Social Determinants and Public Health Report

This report focuses on cardiovascular disease, particularly how social determinants influence its prevalence and impact. It highlights that older individuals are more susceptible and stresses the importance of factors like income, education, and lifestyle choices, all of which can trigger or exacerbate heart conditions. The report references Canadian data, emphasizing the role of self-reporting in identifying disease trends and the need for proactive public health measures, including educational programs and lifestyle interventions, to mitigate risks. It underscores the necessity of early detection through regular check-ups and advocates for addressing social and economic disparities in healthcare access, especially in rural areas, while suggesting that public awareness campaigns are essential, drawing comparisons to successful models like those in England. The research aims to educate the public about heart disease risks and the ecological and social factors that contribute to them.

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS
Conclusion:
It can be fairly concluded that Cardiovascular Diseases are affecting the older people
more. Heart primarily is affected by the amount of stress an individual faces. There are
determinants such as income of an individual, diets followed by can directly or indirectly trigger
cardiovascular diseases. Education is also a crucial determinant that determines the possibility of
heart diseases. Education stimulates the psychological, social and economical factors that can
enhance the probability of cardiovascular diseases. These factors have victimized many in
Canada who have fallen under the threat of the Cardiovascular Diseases. It has been observed
that increased education is linked with increased stress resulting in Cardiac problems. The self-
reporting feature has recorded huge number of heart disease cases in Canada with the help of
CCHS. It can be stated that proper change in environmental policies and lifestyle can effectively
reduce the threats of cardiovascular disease.
Public health interventions can prove to be highly beneficial in reducing the risk of
cardiovascular diseases and multiple approaches can be taken to fight it starting at an early age.
Interventions focus more on educating the population about the heart diseases and it is more
about preventing the risk rather than curing as it is much better to not ever face the threats of
cardiovascular diseases. Regular check up of cardiovascular disease vulnerability at an early age
can catch various symptoms that are likely to result in fatal physiological conditions. On time
identification of the symptoms can lead to efficient treatment. Social factors that cause
cardiovascular diseases should be addressed with the help of public health intervention which
will display a clear view of the socio-economic status that affect individuals with their health

betterment regimes. People with low income tend to have gaps in the health care routines and it
is more of a redundant activity that costs a lot, according to them. There are lots of inexpensive
health care procedures which are unknown to the older people. Rural people tend to live more
unhealthy lifestyles and they are totally unaware of the theats of cardiovascular diseases.
Cardiovascular disease threats and prevention methods should be promoted to make the
public aware of what procedures they should adapt and what lifestyle changes they should make
like England has done. Government should involve such awareness programs for the benefit of
people living in rural areas and all the older people.
This research intends to make people aware of the possible heart risks. It elucidates the
ecological and social factors that trigger risks of cardiovascular diseases to educate the entire
population.
