3 0

Over the past several decades medical sociology has become a major subdiscipline of sociology, at the same time assuming an increasingly conspicuous role in health care disciplines such as public health, health care management, nursing, and clinical medicine. The name medical sociology garners immediate recognition and legitimacy and, thus, continues to be widely used—for instance, to designate the Medical Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association—even though most scholars in the area concede that the term is narrow and misleading. Many courses and texts, rather than using the term "sociology of medicine," refer instead to the sociology of health, health and health care, health and illness, health and medicine, or health and healing. The study of medicine is only part of the sociological study of health and health care, a broad field ranging from (1) social epidemiology, the study of socioeconomic, demographic, and behavioral factors in the etiology of disease and mortality; to (2) studies of the development and organizational dynamics of health occupations and professions, hospitals, health maintenance and long-term care organizations, including interorganizational relationships as well as interpersonal behavior, for example, between physician and patient; to (3) the reactions of societies to illness, including cultural meanings and normative expectations and, reciprocally, the reactions of individuals in interpreting, negotiating, managing, and socially constructing illness experience; to (4) the social policies, social movements, politics, and economic conditions that shape and are shaped by health and disease within single countries, as well as in a comparative, international context.

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Hi, you haven't provided the options to the question so I will just give the answer in my own words and you can check with the options.

Answer is: HE LOWERED HIS METABOLISM BY TRIGGERED MECHANISMS DESIGNED TO PREVENT STARVATION.

Explanation:

When a lot of weight is lost, the body starts trying to conserve energy by reducing the number of calories it burns, which causes hunger, tiredness and increases food cravings.

These effects can put a stop to weight loss and make one feel miserable such that one abandons the weight loss efforts and regains the weight.

This phenomenon is the body's natural mechanism to prevent starvation and is often called starvation mode.

Component of cabbage soup and salad causes weight loss because it drastically limits calories.

In Elroy's case, he decides to do a crash diet which starts with cabbage soup and salad and loses the weight at first but he regains the weight back quickly because he didn't only lose fat weight, he also lost water weight and may even include muscle.

Muscle loss causes the metabolic rate (the rate at which the body burns calories) to reduce which result in burning of fewer calories and also weight regain.

Therefore, the likely reason why Elroy quickly puts the lost weight back on is because HE LOWERED HIS METABOLISM BY TRIGGERED MECHANISMS DESIGNED TO PREVENT STARVATION.

List three types of health insurance structures that are classified as managed care.
jekas [21]

The three types of health insurance structures that are classified as managed care are:

Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO)

Usually only pay for care within the network. You choose a primary care doctor who coordinates most of your care.

Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO)

Usually pay more if you get care within the network. They still pay part of the cost if you go outside the network.

Point of Service (POS)

Plans let you choose between an HMO or a PPO each time you need care.
