she would like to start by drawing and imaginary line on the side of the
room and invite ever on the side please raise their hands
that's about thirty percent of the people in this room
there's the same proportion of d each year that heart disease is responsible for
the t zero in the biggest colour
now the interesting thing about heart disease
is that the risk factors for developing hypotheses are associated with that one actions
now if you'd asked me
twelve months ago i do see if you were diagnosed with heart disease would you
change anything about your lifestyle about what you eighteen about how much exercise you get
and i will see well sure
but actually chances a i wouldn't
two years after experiencing have surgery only twenty five percent of patients of actually changed
anything about their lifestyles
so what influences how actions
three things
the first is personal willpower or drive
the second
as the physical environment
in the for the
as the social environment which includes all of our past experiences
now most health interventions focus on personal willpower mainly for education
but actually to be effective we really need to understand how all three influences interact
a good example
as anti smoking campaigns
the numbers of people who smoke really started to drop
when smoking with bandwidth places in bars restaurants and in some public spaces
now there's a push for plain packaging on cigarettes
these emotions as target the social in physical determinants of people's behaviour
my study text along which should know if the graphic approach to understand how these
three influences affect and attunement people's but high especially in relationship to developing risk factors
for heart disease
my study spans up to idea which is important to understand how people's actions change
over time we'll do not change
this the graphic means actually spend time with people in their own environments and their
own homes observing them to the things they do on a data databases
and that's really important
i've chosen that's quite
from a buddhist monk my actions are my only true belongings
because it's out accumulated actions over a period of time that come together to external
we are
i n
to contribute to develop in improved health interventions so we can healthier families communities and
individuals
i and to shift the outline a little bit further the flat move somebody from
that group into the score
the thing is we know actions influence our health
but what influences our actions
thank you
