“…Health behavior is a concept that encompasses all behaviors related to health by an individual and refers to health-promoting behaviors that in which human being actively responds to their own environment to move toward health [10]. Health-promoting behaviors have a very important impact on well-being of health levels and the promotion of growth development [11], and are also directly linked to subsequent health outcomes. Pender [10] attempted a specific and multidimensional approach to identify interactions between health-related variables [12], and a meta-analysis revealed that Pender's model of health-promoting behavior was valid, and it has been used in many studies related to health-promoting behaviors [13].…”

Based on prior studies that a high level of psycho-social health of adolescents has a significant relationship with healthy eating habits and the promotion of personal physical activity, this study examines whether the Global Citizenship Education (GCE) has a positive effect on various psycho-social indicators of adolescents. For this purpose, this study performed repeated measurements by split-plot of the factors that can have an effect as mediator variables while controlling the experience of volunteer work and completion of courses related to service. The effect of GCE, the independent variable, was performed by within-subject analysis under controlling the mediator variables by comparison between before and after points of view. Through between-subject analysis, a significance test was attempted through comparative analysis of differences between the levels of specific factors. This study verified whether the within-subject factor or GCE, the treatment effect affects the psycho-social health regardless of the level of a specific variable (main effect) and whether there is an interaction effect between treatment factor and insertion factor. In addition, if sphericity assumption is not met, this study tried to analyze the within-subject effects through well-known Greenhouse-Geisser verification method. As a result, in terms of the analysis of the effects within the participants of GCE, the effects of participating in GCE were significant in self-efficacy (.001), stress management (.021), and rest (0.13). In addition, in relation to volunteering experience, the effects between the GCE participants showed a significant difference in all of the variables of self-efficacy (.046), stress management (.002), personal relations (.000), and health care (.045), which confirmed that GCE has a positive effect on the psycho-social health promotion indicators of adolescents.

“…Exposure to another culture can lead individuals to (a) resist change in their values and behavioral competencies, (b) adopt the host culture's values and behavioral skills and styles as a replacement for their parent culture's values/behaviors, or (c) acquire host culture values/behaviors while retaining parent culture values/behaviors with situational reliance determining which values/behaviors are in effect at different times (Suinn, Ahuna, & Khoo, 1992). Therefore, acculturation among the Asian American population is an important area to study, as there exists a large body of literature supporting the relationship between acculturation and health behaviors (Afable-Munsuz & Brindis, 2006;Ayres, Atkins & Mahat, 2010;Ayres & Mahat, 2012;Bond et al, 2002;Coe et al, 1994;Lee, 2007;Sohn & Harada, 2005).…”

The health of individuals and populations is determined by several interrelated factors. Healthy People 2020 categorizes health determinants into five domains, including a) social factors, b) health services, c) individual behaviors, d) policy making, and e) biology and genetics. Social determinants of health are social and physical conditions that influence all aspects of an individual's life-where they are born, where they grow up, and where they work and play. Many of these factors have been featured on several of the articles published in this edition. Paquiao and Fried have explained that poverty and environmental instability are major contributing social determinants of youth homelessness. Norris and Ayres' research findings have indicated that friends and parental social support are predictive of health promoting physical activity behaviors. Windle's article described the increased satisfaction of patients and families with their healthcare experience when family visitation to patients is allowed in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit. Ayres, Jurado, Mahat, and Norris further indicated that significant relationship was found between acculturation and several health practices. Furthermore, Tuazon's article has highlighted the relationship of socioeconomic status and health outcomes. Indeed, poorer health outcomes are accentuated by the interplay of less desirable social and physical environments. Closely related to social determinants are health services determinants. The availability and quality of health services is intertwined with socioeconomic factors. The health of individuals and communities is affected by the lack of or inadequate health insurance coverage resulting from poverty. Location of health care services and the insufficiency of transportation services exacerbate the lack of access to adequate, timely and much needed health care services. Individual behavior is another health determinant. Individual behavior determinants include diet, physical activity, use of drugs and alcohol, and other habits. Individual behaviors are influenced by social and health services determinants. The paucity of healthcare interventions to promote healthy behaviors, the scarcity of healthier foods, and the predominance of crime in impoverished communities magnify unhealthy behaviors and practices. Policy making is also a health determinant. The development of policies and regulations greatly improves the health of individuals and populations when these policies are properly implemented and monitored. Examples of policies affecting health are banning smoking in public places, stricter control on car emissions, regulating the use of high sugar drinks in elementary schools, regulating the use of table salt for seasoning in restaurants, and many more.

“…Even though there is still some difference between an individual's actual life span and ILE, the latter one could provide better information about what an individual thinks about the wellness of his/her health status. The trends of ILE evaluation form the foundation for concepts such as positive health practices and optimism [5]. Those who believe that something positive happens in their lives will exhibit better health behaviors and actually appreciate their health status; both of these attributes affect the performance of their actual health outcomes [6e8].…”

Keywords:holistic health life expectancy population health self report socioeconomic factors a b s t r a c t Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish normative data for holistic health parameters in the general Korean population and to investigate the factor associated with ideal life expectancy (ILE) among these holistic health parameters and sociodemographic variables. Methods: This study used a questionnaire to obtain self-reported physical, mental, social, spiritual, and general health status and then evaluated their association with ILE. A total of 1,241 individuals responded to the questionnaire, from which we established a multidimensional health status reference data set representing the Korean population. To explain factors associated with ILE, we stratified results by age and gender and performed multiple logistic regression of sociodemographic variables and multidimensional health status. Results: Women reported poor health status more frequently for all five health categories. The average ILE was 87.46 years versus 84.42 years of life expectancy in the general Korean population. Single marital status, higher income, and better social health were significantly associated with higher ILE. Conclusion: ILE could be a good indicator reflecting social wellness in a certain society. Comprehensive social health promotion programs can improve individuals' attitudes toward life expectancy, especially for vulnerable groups.
