Study Notes
Public Health
- Public health is a multi-dimensional field encompassing several health-related disciplines.
- It involves applying medical, social and allied disciplines in community activity to safeguard and advance the health of the population.
- It is about what a society does collectively to ensure the conditions under which people can be healthy.
Determinants of Health
- Factors that influence individual and population health are known as determinants of health.
Vitamin Deficiencies
- Pantothenic acid is rarely deficient in people.
- Vitamin B12 deficiency is not typically found in long-term anti-inflammatory use or chronic alcoholism.
Chronic Renal Failure
- Increased parathyroid hormone is a biochemical finding most likely associated with chronic renal failure.
Scurvy
- Possible symptoms or signs of scurvy include bleeding, softened bones, frequent infections and atherosclerosis.
Vitamin B9
- Another name for vitamin B9 is Folic acid.
- Tetrahydrofolate is the active form of vitamin B9.
Vitamin C
- Vitamin C is stored in the adrenal gland.
Back Pain
- In Australia, the prevalence of back pain in 2014-15 was 16%.
Conversion Disorder

Osteitis Pubis
- Erosions and sclerosis at the symphysis pubis are consistent with osteitis pubis or infection.
- Osteitis pubis is more likely than infection.
- The radiographic findings in the example above indicate osteitis pubis.
Degenerative Joint Disease
- Degenerative joint disease can cause increased sclerosis and hypertrophy of the facet joints.
- The radiographic changes at L5-S1 in the example above are likely due to degenerative joint disease.
Vitamin A
- Vitamin A is necessary for the synthesis of the light absorbing pigment in the eye.
- Vitamin A deficiency has been linked to night blindness.
Morbidity
- Morbidity relates to being unwell.
Vitamin D
- The concentration of parathyroid hormone in the blood directly determines the formation of active vitamin D, 1,25-dihydrovitamin D3.
Chronic Disease
- Chronic disease comorbidity in people with back problems under 44 years of age is most commonly associated with mental health..
- Modifiable factors to prevent chronic diseases include physical activity, reduction in obesity, diet modification.
- Immunizations are not considered a modifiable factor in chronic disease prevention.
Vitamin K
- Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting.
Biotin
- Biotin deficiency can lead to an unusual distribution of facial subcutaneous fat.
- Biotin is another name for vitamin B7.
