Oral | ||||
| ||||
| This interesting session will focus on social factors, including socioeconomic status, discrimination, ethnicity and aging, and health. A presentation of the relationship between socioeconomic status and blood pressure in Israel will be followed by a presentation about the relationship between discrimination and health among Arabs, immigrants from the former Soviet Union and Jewish Israelis. Studies of the effect of chronic stress and racial/ethnic disparities on hypertension, the association between work stress and diet quality and markers of good health among older adults will also be presented. | ||||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) in this session will be able to: 1) Discuss the complexity of the relation between socioeconomic status, demographic variables and blood pressure; 2) Recognize the importance of discrimination regarding health in different population groups; 3) Evaluate the contribution of chronic stressors (individual and environmental) to racial/ethnic disparities in hypertension; 4) To identify opportunities for intervention among employees who survive lay-offs; and 5) To extend the body of research on successful aging by using a well-established multidimensional measure of health with a large representative sample of the Canadian population. | ||||
