{"title":"The health behaviour of people in late adulthood -sociodemographic correlations and differences between social environments.","authors":"Ewa Sygit-Kowalkowska","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>The increasing number of elderly people living in society draws attention to the problem of health promotion and health education. The present-day problem is prevention in late adulthood and - as a consequence - keeping healthy. In this study the relationships between the individual categories of the health behaviour of the aged and those social-demographic variables which characterize this research group were analysed. The following were taken into consideration: age, sex, education of the test subjects, and whether or not the test subjects belong to a University of the Third Age (UTW) circle, or whether or not the test subjects belong to a social welfare centre circle (DPS).</p><p><strong>Material and methods: </strong>A total of 199 persons, over 60 years old, living in Bydgoszcz and Torun were tested. The questionnaire method was used in the study. The questionnaire used was the Health Behaviour Inventory by Z. Juczyński. Spearman's non-parametric test and the Mann-Whitney U Test were used for statistical analysis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Among the four categories of health behaviour and its general intensity only the positive psychological attitude score has a relationship that is of statistical significance to belonging to a DPS or UTW group. Education was seen to be the variable that most often correlates with health behaviour (the behaviour's general indicator and positive psychological attitude). The higher the level of education, the greater the intensity of this behaviour. The sex variable is of marginal significance. The p-value is less than 0.05 (p < 0.05) only for eating habits. Age differentiates the scores pertaining to sleeping and recreational habits, along with physical activity. The younger group scored lower, on average.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Health behaviour during the period of late adulthood is influenced by both belonging to DPS or UTW groups and sociodemographic characteristics. There was no evidence of a dominating variable which significantly differentiates the individual health behaviour categories. Programmes promoting healthy lifestyle should be addressed to a wide group of recipients. Variables such as age, sex and level of education are not as significant for health behaviours as predicted. That is the reason to refer to other sociodemographic parameters.</p>","PeriodicalId":7883,"journal":{"name":"Annales Academiae Medicae Stetinensis","volume":"59 1","pages":"103-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"32264626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Approximately 15-20% of recognized pregnancies and miscarriage involve spontaneous expulsion of the blastocyst from the uterine cavity. This constitutes about 80% of miscarriages in the first 12 weeks of gestation. The literature lists a number of factors which cause the loss of pregnancies. The most frequently cited causes of abortion are: genetic, anatomical, immunological and hormonal factors, and infections. A large number of miscarriages remain unexplained (idiopathic miscarriages). Clinical signs of miscarriage include bleeding and pain. Bleeding or spotting is the earliest sign of miscarriage. Data from the patient's history, physical examination, ultrasound examination and tests for hCG level can enable diagnosis of bleeding in early pregnancy, help to assess the degree of risk, and implement an appropriate treatment regimen and care for pregnant women adapted to their needs. Loss of pregnancy is an interdisciplinary problem involving obstetrics, epidemiology, public health, psychology, and other specialities. The role of medical personnel in the care of women after the loss of a child, regardless of the week and therapeutic procedures, as well as for giving adequate information regarding the rights of women after pregnancy loss. The obligation to inform women of their rights concerns medical staff, and it is important to promote knowledge in this field among doctors, nurses and midwives who care for women after miscarriage.</p>","PeriodicalId":7883,"journal":{"name":"Annales Academiae Medicae Stetinensis","volume":"59 1","pages":"123-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"32262881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
