Table Interpretation:
The figure above shows a substantial percentage of the total number of respondents, 219
(52%) are female and a total number of 202 (48%) are male.

Health implication:
Males and females have different patterns of illness and different life spans. Certain
health and well-being issues are more commonly associated with one gender. For example,
dementia, depression, and arthritis are more common in women, while men are more prone to
lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, and suicide (Broom, 2012).

Table Interpretation:

Figure no. 2 above shows that 177 (42%) ages 15-45 years old, 139 (32%) ages 45 years
old and above, 71 (17%) ages 6-24 years old, and 34 (8%) ages 0-5 years old of the population
with a total of 421.
Health Implication:

People tend to develop or find out diseases during the ages of 15-45 such as immune
system disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and even cancer. However, people aged 45 years and
above have a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases and autoimmune diseases because of the
decreased physical activities tolerated and done during these years. 15-45 years old usually eats
enough and healthy foods to maintain their health because younger age tends to be healthy and
physically conscious which’s why they want to achieve and maintain a beautiful physique.
People during their 0-5 years old and 6-14 years old do not acquire diseases aside from flu which
is common to children and hereditary diseases which is inevitable.

Table Interpretation:

Above are figures and tables showing the frequency of the Civil Status of people living in
Brgy. Quimmarayan Cervantes, Ilocos Sur, majority of the respondents are Single which counts
202 out of 421 (48%) of the population. Second in line are those who are married which counts
178 out of 421 (42%) of the population. Far from the number of married individuals are
widowed with the number of 29 out of 421 (7%) of the population. Following the widowed
individuals are those who are in common law or living-in with a count of 12 out of 421 (3%) of
the population.

Health Implication:

Single people tend to have stronger social networks and develop more as individuals and
singles also tend to be fitter. Single people are at less risk of stress which is mainly because they
face fewer problems than those who are engaged in marriage because most married individuals
already have families. Dealing with a family is a risky job because it indicates that heading or
leading a family is making yourself survive including the lives of the family members.

Married couples may be more careful with diet and exercise and holding one another accountable
but another side effect of marriage is that people in stressful or unsatisfying marriages seem to be
particularly prone to health disease. On the other hand, widows have difficulties in supporting
their own families both financial and health matters because of the absence of guiding life
partners.

Elementary Graduate with the same score of 59 (14%), next Elementary Graduate with a score of
50 (12%); Daycare, Kinder and College Level with the same score of 8 (2%); ALS with a score
of 6 (1%) and the least group is Post Graduate where it has only 2 (0%) of the total respondents.

Health Implications:

Those with lower levels of education are more likely to die at a younger age
and are at increased risk of poorer health throughout life than those with more education.
Individuals with low educational levels are less likely to be knowledgeable about the health
effects of smoking, particularly the effects of smoking during pregnancy. Those with lower
levels of education were more likely to have sexual intercourse at a younger age, were less likely
to use regular contraception, and were less-inform about sexually transmitted infections such as
chlamydia. (Higgins et al., 2008) However, the more educated report having lower morbidity
from the most common acute and chronic diseases (heart condition, stroke hypertension,
cholesterol, emphysema, diabetes, asthma attacks, ulcer). More educated people are less likely to
be hypertensive or to suffer from emphysema or diabetes. Physical and mental functioning is
also better for the better educated. The better educated are substantially less likely to report that
they are in poor health and less likely to report anxiety or depression. An additional four years of
education lowers five-year mortality by 1.8 percentage points; it also reduces the risk of heart
disease by 2.16 percentage points and the risk of diabetes by 1.3 percentage points. Four more
years of schooling lowers the probability of reporting oneself in fair or poor health by 6
percentage points and reduces lost days of work to sickness by 2.3 each year. (Picker, 2007).

unemployed respondents, 83 (20%) self-employed respondents, 3 (1%) retired respondents, and
106 (25%) students, with a total population of 421 (100%).
Health Implication:

Occupation is a major contributor to injuries and disease as well as economic loss

amounting to 4–5% of GDP. Occupation factors may give rise to a very wide range of injuries
and diseases.  Occupational injuries may be classified according to the type of injury, the
affected body part, and the type of enterprise where the injury was sustained. They include
infectious disease, chronic disease, malignancy, and mental disorders. (Am J Ind Med.2005)

Table Interpretation:

Figure no. 7 above shows that there are of 412 (95%) Roman Catholic, 4 (2%) Christians,
4(2%) Baptist and 1(1%) is not yet baptized with a total of 421 people.
Health Implications:

As we can see, all of the respondents are Roman Catholic. People in Barangay
Quimmarayan are very religious. Religious strategies may be particularly important for coping
with mental and physical illness and disability. Several studies indicate that religious coping is
significant for mental and physical health outcomes for a variety of life circumstances, especially
health problems and bereavement. Religious coping also appears to reduce levels of depression
and anxiety in connection with bereavement and other loss events. But there are conservative
religious beliefs seem to be associated with poor physical health, in part because such believers
focus on the “afterlife” and ignore current physical health behaviors such as exercise. People
with conservative religious beliefs such as those who agree with the idea that “we are born into
the world with sinful natures” tend to have a lower sense of personal control. Moreover, the
sense of individual control often leads to poor physical health. Further, some scholars have found
through empirical research that there is no relationship between religious beliefs and individual
health

Table Interpretation:

The figure above shows that a family monthly income of 5,000 and below yielded the
highest response of 47 (43%). Next to that is 5,0001 to 10,000 which garnered the score of 31
(29%); 10,001 to 20,000 has a number of 17 (16%), followed by 20,001 to 30,000 with a
score of 5 (5%). And lastly, a family monthly income of 30,001 and above is equivalent to a
score of 8 (7%).

Health Implication:

Low-income status is associated with a variety of adverse health outcomes, including

shorter life expectancy higher rates of infant mortality, and higher death rates for 14 leading
causes of death. Low-income families are most likely to have a stressful life because of
budgeting for every necessity needed in their daily lives, they are also most likely to adopt
bad habits such as smoking and alcohol drinking. On the other hand, high-income families
lead to better health because they can afford a healthier lifestyle; they don't stress out buying
their sufficient daily needs.
