3. Summarise the variations in the health status of population groups in Australia, using the table
below:
Variations in Health Status
Group
Gender: Male Vs
Female
Indigenous Status
Regional
Socio-Economic Statues
(eg. Lower Life Expectance… 44
Vs 71)
Biological, behavioural and social
determinants of health that lead to these
variations. (eg. Behavioural – Smoking – Leads to
higher cases of CVD – contributing to Morbidity, BoD
and Mortality Rates…)
