Health promotion strategies as a reflection of determinants of health in contemporary world

Civilization diseases and their sociological interpretation
Vottová, Lucie ; Háva, Petr (advisor) ; Kružík, Lubomír (referee)

As the main determinants of health are considered: stress, with focus on frustration from physically or mentally demanding job with low reward (high-effort/low-reward model); social gradient and related relative deprivation, according to which it is not essential how much we have for constitute our feeling of self-worth, but how much we have in reference to others; social support and social cohesion which functions as buffer against the stressor; and the early life development, effects of which can be seen later in life. There could be many more determinants listed but for the purpose of this paper, I chose only these few which I consider universally valid. In conclusion I argue whether one's health is his/her own responsibility or if in today's world this responsibility became society's.
