HYGIENE
DEFINITION of health, indicators of health and disease, risk factors Health demographics: data sources, demographic indicators; definition of epidemiology, its uses; measures used in epidemiology; definition of prevalence and incidence; epidemiology of infectious diseases; epidemiological chain; epidemiology of chronic degenerative diseases Definition and general characteristics of prevention; articulation of prevention in its different phases or levels of activity (prevention levels: primary, secondary and tertiary); deepening of the main preventive measures: screening. Vaccines and their roles in prevention Health education: definition, historical evolution, purposes and types of interventions; Health promotion Active and passive immune protection; food poisoning; prevention of infectious risk: disinfection, sterilization, disinfestation. Behavioural risk factors: tobacco smoke, alcohol; motor activity, nutrition and sport (energy metabolism, anthropometric measurements)Biological risk: bacteria, viruses, mycetes (general characteristics)Hygiene of swimming pools and similar aquatic environments; management of pool safety (type of hazards and risks); drowning and accidents; physical, chemical and microbiological requirements of pool water (microbiological risk, water disinfection, chemical risk, assessment of faecal contamination of water: current legislation)Management of water and air quality; health of indoor sports environments; building-related syndromes, spread of biological agents in the air in confined environments; prevention of Legionnaires disease: current guidelines.
