heart disease

AIDS Re-Cap

• Open up your workbooks to your case-study sheet

• Spend 2 mins reminding yourself of the facts from last week

• In your group be ready to explain your worksheet to the rest of the group – FACILITATE the knowledge

Diseases of Affluence

• These are diseases which are a result of increasing wealth in society

• Include type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, depression, alcoholism, some forms of cancer

• Tend to be non-communicable, as infectious diseases are more treatable with money (drugs, vaccinations)

• It is impossible to stop anyone from dying, and as people live longer it is creating more expense

Diseases of Affluence

• Factors associated with these are:• Increase car use• Less manual labour• Food accessibility• High fat foods• Processed foods• Increased leisure time• More alcohol and cigarettes

Heart Disease – Activity Sheet

• Using the textbooks from page 286-289 form an activity sheet to use based on the study of heart disease

• The activity sheet shouldn’t just be a long list of questions – instead be creative, think of activities that could push other students into the HIGHER ORDER thinking skills

Heart Disease – Activity Sheet• Examples of LOWER ORDER activities:• Questions, comprehension, re-writing, remembering, ‘describe

and comment’

• Examples of HIGHER ORDER activities:• Creative, evaluative, synthesis, ‘discuss’, ‘to what extent’, ‘design

your own’

• Have a mixture of both of these on your sheet. Make the sheet fit onto one side A4 and most importantly – make an answer sheet for the teacher!! These sheets can be printed off and laminated and we can use them for revision You should have questions which cover all the sub-headings on your sheet

Coronary Heart Disease• What is it?

• What are the risk factors?

• What are the economic costs?

• What are the prevention strategies?

• What is it linked with education?

• How is it linked with policy making?

Homework

• Jan 2012 paper – Question 8a• Jun 2012 paper – Question 8c• Jun 2012 paper – Question 8d

• ‘An infectious disease has a greater impact on economic development than a non-communicable disease’ To what extent do you agree with this view? (15)
