Item 1
In your own words, explain the concept of “health behavior” and then describe three health-promoting and three health-compromising
behaviors. In your response, explain any demographic (e.g., race/ethnicity, age, sex) differences found in at least three (3) of the behaviors
you chose to discuss. For example, men are more likely to be current smokers than women. Also, explain any relationships that might exist
between any of the behaviors you have chosen for this assessment prompt. For example, research has shown a relationship between
screen-time and sexual behavior in adolescents.
Your Response
Health behaviors refer to any activities that are undertaken by individuals and have either positive or negative impacts on their
overall health status. Health promoting behaviors include observation of a healthy balanced diet. A healthy and balanced diet is
associated with a reduced chance of developing chronic conditions such as diabetes. Further, regular exercising is associated with
improved health and a lower chance of developing cardiovascular conditions. The third health-promoting behavior is the
maintenance of a regular sleep pattern and ensuring that one rests well. This has been associated with the improvement of both
physical and psychological health.
A study by Cockerham et al., (2017) suggests that whites are more likely to consume healthier diets compared to other races in the
United States. This is linked to the overall economic profile in the country. A higher earning rate was linked to an overall ability to
access healthy food spots and the overall ability to access healthier food options.
The study also suggested that whites are also more likely to exercise more due a higher access rate to exercising facilities.
(Cockerham et al., 2017).
Males from low income families are less likely to keep a regular sleep pattern (Jansen et al., 2019). Often, older males have to work
multiple work shifts at base pay rates to earn enough.
