Discussion: The health believe model conceptual frameworkDiscussion: The health believe
model conceptual frameworkConceptual ModelThe health believe model conceptual
framework focuses on patient compliance and their preventive health care practices.
According to the model, a person’s perception of threat posed by a health problem and the
value associated with actions aiming to reduce the threat affect their health seeking
behaviour (Polit & Beck, 2017). Perceived susceptibility to a health problem, perceived
severity of the disease, perceived benefits of the actions that reduce the problem including
costs, enabling and modifying factors affect health modification. This model will be used in
studying healthy behaviour for weight management and weight reduction among people
with overweight and obesity.Excess weight is related to several health challenges including
COVID-19 in the most recent past. According to Mosca et al. (2017), overweight and obesity
are related with type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, gall bladder disease,
osteoarthritis, breathing problems, and hypertension.However, despite the presence of
indications towards the negative health effects of excess weight there has been reluctance
in adopting measures aimed at reducing overweight and obesity including physical exercise
and proper nutrition with low intake of fat and carbohydrates (Farnesi et al., 2019). In this
research, we investigate whether increasing the knowledge about the negative health
effects of overweight and obesity will lead to an increase in physical exercise and proper
diet.Research QuestionDoes knowledge about the effects of excess body weight on the
health of individuals improve their diet and level of physical activity?HypothesisHypothesis:
Teaching people the effects of excess body weight on their health will lead to improved diet
and increased level of physical activitiesHypothesis 2: An increase in knowledge about the
negative consequences of excess body weight will increase measures to maintain a healthy
BMI.ReferencesFarnesi, B. C., Perez, A., Holt, N. L., Morrison, K. M., Gokiert, R., Legault, L., …

PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your
computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on

2. your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous
misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in
silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is
advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten
corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12
characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins
or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended
number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large
margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines),
increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to
increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your
professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on
the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white
paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to
follow your argument.
