    Study Notes

    Affecting Health and Wellness

    • Risk factors are aspects of people's lives that increase the chance of a disease, injury, or decline in health.
    • Protective factors are aspects that reduce risk.

    Genetic Factors

    • Genes contain the blueprint for the structure and function of cells and influence personality and health.
    • Humans have 20,000-25,000 genes, which are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
    • Genes affect a person's ability to burn calories, store body fat, appetite, and levels of physical activity.

    Health and Wellness

    • The dietary and physical activity habits of children and teens tend to persist into adulthood.
    • Nutrition and physical activity are modifiable behavioral factors.

    Sleep

    • Lack of sleep is a risk factor for poor health, reducing resistance to disease and impairing motor skills.

    Teen Drivers at Higher Risk for Injury

    • Teen drivers are more likely to engage in risky behaviors, such as texting and driving, and driving with more than one passenger under 18 years of age.
    • These behaviors are common among teens and increase the risk of accidents.

    Modifiable Risk Factors

    • Making healthy choices, such as eating well and exercising regularly, can reduce the risk of health conditions even if there are non-modifiable risk factors present.

    Importance of Health Choices

    • Behaviors adopted in adolescence can affect health in adulthood.
    • Taking steps to improve health, such as setting goals and making healthy choices, can have a positive impact on overall health and wellness.

    Real-World Health Skills

    • Research shows that certain behaviors, such as motor vehicle accidents, alcohol use, and poor nutrition, can cause significant numbers of deaths.
    • Taking precautions, such as wearing helmets and seatbelts, can help prevent these deaths.
