Anxiety level and health indicators at sea

Indicators that count! Measuring population health at the community level.

We begin with a discussion of some vitally important conceptual and methodological issues. These issues concern our understanding of community, of health, of population health and its determinants, of the concept of 'measurement' and the values that underlie it, and our reasons for wishing to measure these constructs. We then present a framework for indicator categories, propose some criteria f...

Vibrations and health effects at sea.

A Numerical Simulation of Inspiratory Airflow in Human Airways during Exercise at Sea Level and at High Altitude

At high altitudes, the air pressure is much lower than it is at sea level and contains fewer oxygen molecules and less oxygen is taken in at each breath. This requires deeper and rapid breathing to get the same amount of oxygen into the blood stream compared to breathing in air at sea level. Exercises increase the oxygen demand and make breathing more difficult at high altitude. In this study, ...

Selecting indicators for the quality of diabetes care at the health systems level in OECD countries.

PURPOSE In the context of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Quality Indicators Project, a set of quality indicators for diabetes care was developed, to be used for benchmarking the performance of health care systems. BACKGROUND Diabetes complications markedly reduce quality and length of life and are also responsible for enormous health care costs. A large body ...
