A 65year old HIV couple from Thailand is living alone in a suburban village with no family support available. They were depressed due to isolation, internalized shame and perceived stigma. They have several issues with health such as sleeping problems, Arthritis, Diabetes. Sometimes the couple was reluctant for medication due to many medicines in a day. They are confined to home due to mobility problems. Though they are covered under Social security system but it is not sufficient to fulfil their needs due to rising medical needs. 1. Read the case and Identify biological variables. 2. Identify Psychological variables. 3. Identify Social variables.

A fascinating subject of recent interest is the "Hispanic paradox": Census data "show" that coronary heart disease (CHD) has a lower prevalence in Hispanic people than in non-Hispanic whites (NHW) based on health interviews of representative samples of people from different ethnic groups from the U.S. population, although the risk-factor profile of Hispanics is generally worse (more hypertension, diabetes, and obesity in this group than in NHW). To study this further, researchers looked at a group of 1,000 Hispanic men ages 50–64 from several counties in Texas who were free of CHD in 1990 and followed them for 5 years. They found that 96 of the men had developed CHD (either fatal cases or nonfatal cases in which the men survived a heart attack). Given other surveys over the same time period among NHW in these counties, the researchers expected that the comparable rate of CHD for NHW would be 9%. Another important parameter in the epidemiology of CHD is the case-fatality rate (the proportion of people who die among those who have a heart attack). Among the 96 CHD cases ascertained among Hispanics, 50 were fatal. What is the expected proportion of Hispanic men who will be identified by health surveys as having a previous heart attack in the past 5 years (who are by definition survivors) if we assume that the proportion of men with more than one nonfatal heart attack is negligible?
