Name the 3 major Chronic lower respiratory diseases

Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 3 major conditions: -Emphysema -Chronic bronchitis -asthma

Does CVD affect more men or women? Any ethnic disparities?

*CVD affect more women then men, but there are also ethnicity disparities*

Cigarrette smoking is a major risk factor for COPD and other Chronic Lower Respiratory Diseases. What are some other factors that affect?

*Environmental exposure* -Contact with dust, chemical fumes, and vapors increase the risk of developing chronic bronchitis (coal mining, textile manufacturing, grain handling, livestock farming, work in nail salons)

What is Genitourinary syndrome of menopause? What are symptoms of it?

*Genitourinary syndrome of menopause: group of sx r/t this loss of estrogen and other endogenous steroids* -*Sx include* genital dryness, irritation, burning, sexual sx such as inadequate lubrications and painful / impaired sexual functioning -*Includes sx s/a* urinary frequently, urgency, painful urination, and frequent UTIs

One reason why the US has lower life expectancy is because of health literacy ability. What is health literacy? What does low health literacy contribute to?

*Health literacy*: the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health-related decisions -*low health literacy contributes to health disparities* [certain racial and ethic groups have issues in US]

What is the Longest running study related to women's health in the world?

*Nurses' Health Study I* -Longest running study related to women's health in the world - investigates factors that influence the health of women.

Sadly, the US is in 10th place behind even Korea for life expectancy - 4 years behind! What is one issue that causes this to be the case?

*Well Health Literacy* is one issue - low health literacy contributes to health disparities and has been documented among certain racial and ethic groups over age of 65 in the US

Ethnic disparities in CVD: -Black & Hispanic / Latino women -Black Americans -Mexican Americans -Asian Americans

-*Black & Hispanic / Latino women are at higher risk* of death from CVD (and are less likely to recognize sx) -Black Americans are more likely to have a 1st stroke earlier and more likely to die from stroke complications than whites -Mexican Americans both male and females have a lower risk than whites -In Asian Americans, CVD causes more deaths then all forms of cancer combined (within this group)

Cancer: -Caused by internal and external factors. Name some internal and external factors

-*Internal*: inherited gene mutations, hormones, immune conditions, gene mutation that occur from metabolism -*External*: tobacco / alcohol use, chemicals, radiation, infectious organisms, and poor lifestyle choices

Adult Men (35-65) - *Prostate Health:* -Can experience prostate enlargement (BPH) or infection (Prostatitis). -Prostate CA most frequently dx CA in men -Occurs more in black men -Recommended screening at 45 for black men or those who have a father / brother with prostate CA before 65 -Men with 2 or more close relatives should screen at 40 -Treatment includes surgery (remove all or part of prostate), radiation, and hormone therapy

Adult Men (35-65): -*Physical, emotional, financial demands*[children in college, bear burden of family finances, may lose loved ones, may be suffering with illness/disease] -*Midlife crisis* [Reappraisal of values, priorities, and personal relationships can occur at this time] -*Retirement* [where men can decide their retirement goals]

Adult Men (35-65): -*Reproductive health* [may choose permanent birth control through vasectomy. Erection problems can be common and erectile dysfx (aka impotence). May take Viagra to help] -*Heart disease & men* [About 1 in 2 adult men have some form of CVD and it is the leading cause of death among males in most racial / ethic groups. Educate men on modifying risk factors for CVD and discuss S&S of MI and how to access emergency medical treatment]

Adult Women (35 to 65) - *Chronic fatigue & Immune dysfunction syndrome aka Myalgic Encephalomyelitis*: -Characterized by *persistent and debilitating fatigue and additional nonspecific sx* (sore throat, HA, painful muscles, joint pain, difficulty thinking, and loss of short-term memory) -Rest does not relive the fatigue and sx may wax and wane and can last for months or years -No specific cause found or treatment - *treatment focused on supportive care*

Adult Women (35 to 65) - *Chronic fatigue & Immune dysfunction syndrome aka Myalgic Encephalomyelitis*: -The PHN can *assess activity level, degree of fatigue, emotional response to illness, and coping ability* -PHN can *refer women to mental health counseling or local support groups* [since anxiety and depression is associated with any kind of chronic illness]

Adult Women (35 to 65) - Cancer: -*Breast CA is the most common* among women - but *more women die from lung CA* -*To promote breast health*: clinical breast exams, mammograms, eating diet low in fat and high in fruits / veggies, breast-feeding if possible, and avoiding prolonged use of menopausal HT

Adult Women (35 to 65) - Cancer: -CA 2nd leading cause of death for women -Genetic mutations play a role, but *only a small % of CA though are hereditary* -Most CA occur in persons 55 and older -PHN can *seek opportunities for education and screening in this population* -*Screening has reduced deaths for CA of breast, colon, rectum and cervix*

Adult Women (35 to 65) - Heart Disease: -*Heart disease, CVD number one killer of women* -Women have *higher mortality rate after heat attack and poorer outcomes than men* (most likely due to a delay in treatment) [partially due to women having different sx than men] -*"Go red for women"* is a public awareness program to help increase awareness that women also have heart disease and even more of a killer than for men.

Adult Women (35 to 65) - Osteoporosis: -*Gradual loss in bone density* -Bone density peaks at age 25 and over time bones become fragile and easily fracture -US estimates 1 in 5 women have osteoporosis -PHN *need to stress importance of strong bones early* -*Bone density influenced by* heredity, race/ethnicity, physical activity, and nutrition

Adult Women (35 to 65) - Osteoporosis: -*Meds used are* bisphosphonates (to help build bone mass), selective estrogen receptor modulators (slow rate of bone loss), calcitonin (slows rate of bone loss), and teriparatide (helps build up new bone) -*Women >65 should be screened for osteoporosis with normal risk* [women with high risk factors will be screened earlier]

Adult Women (35 to 65) Menopause: -Menopause is a *cessation of menstrual activity for 12 months or longer* -During this time there is a *dramatic drop in hormone levels* which is responsible for many of the unpleasant sx women may experience -*Can have natural menopause or surgical menopause* (found when ovaries are removed (sudden loss of estrogen) such as in radical hysterectomies) -*Menopause sx may last from months to years and range in severity from woman to woman*

Adult Women (35 to 65): -*Health choices: Good or Bad* [health choices are either paying off or creating health issues - still time to change!] -*Undetected diseases* [women are still dying prematurely due to these]
