I know it's very late but we can use this thread for late night crammers and people having difficulty with aspects of this Option in PDHPE

I'll start.

Outline the reason why high socioeconomic status correlates with a high health status.

 

[Katieeee]

Having a high socio-economic status (SES) allows young people to be able to better access preventative health services as well as being able to access and afford treatment for minor ailments therefore improving their health status. Young people with a high SES are often more able to eat a healthy diet and participate in physical activity due to being able to afford the costs associated with these. High SES is often attributable to high levels of education or employment. These factors in themselves lead to high health status due to the individual having the knowledge of the signs and behaviours associated with poor health status and thus are better equipped to counteract them. A person with a high SES is more likely to live in secure housing with adequate warmth and access to clean water, providing the basics for a high level of health.

Next question: How can accepting and valuing cultural diversity help young people attain better health?

 

[menofstudy]

Cultural diversity provides a range of advantages. which include

Nutrition- an appreciation of a wide variety of food dishes and recipes which leads to a greater diversity of food alternatives.

Interpersonal relationships- valuing cultural diversity provides new perspectives on relationships that result from an understanding and acceptance of other ppl.

Cultrual heritage- dance, rituals, ancestry, language, family traditions and customs enhance our understanding about others and allow us to reflect on and appreciate heritage of australians.
