Some forms of human behaviour serve no obvious biological need and, in terms of the individual's health and well-being, appear to be positively self-destructive. Using the conceptual framework provided by reversal theory, this paper examines what has become known in the theory as 'paradoxical behaviour'.

Time is a key element of social life. Yet it has been relatively neglected in social theory and in the study of health and risk. In this chapter we show how interrogating understandings of time provides insights into how uncertainty and risk shape the ways in which organisations and individuals respond to illness.

Obesity Research, 2001
AbstractOvereating is a relative term. It refers to the consumption of an energy intake that is inappropriately large for a given energy expenditure, thus, leading to obesity. There are several key environmental and cultural factors that have converged in the past few decades to markedly increase the risk of both active and passive (inadvertent ...

Quantification of Health Risks
2013Health, health determinants, and also the consequences of (ill) health: all these items imply considerable complexity. When trying to define and operationalize these concepts, especially in quantitative terms, difficulties emerge. Within the field of Public Health, correspondingly, both qualitative and quantitative approaches are established, and they ...

Medical Clinics of North America, 1989
Evidence implicating obesity as a risk-factor disease is critically reviewed. Possible reasons for the many conflicting findings are addressed. The classification of obesity, based upon the site of body fat distribution, and possible biologic mechanisms associating regional adiposity with morbidity, are discussed.

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1980
To the Editor.— The article by Robert M. Veatch, PhD (243:50, 1980), provides a useful conceptual framework for determining the relative responsibilities of the individual, the physician, and society at large in dealing with voluntary risks to health. Social theories are created to explain human behavior that is, to a great extent, amorphous. Theories

Exposure of humans to contaminated sites may result in many types of health damage ranging from relatively innocent symptoms such as skin eruption or nausea, on up to cancer or even death. Human health protection is considered as a major protection target, both by decision-makers as well as by the general public.
