How can poor mental and emotional health affect physical health?
Mental and emotional health form one component of your "health triangle", along with physical and social health. The elements of this triangle affect the other elements. For example, if your mental and emotional health is poor, it might lead to bad eating habits as you try to cope with sadness, or lethargy, if depression makes you lose the will to exercise. Thus, poor mental and emotional health has a negative impact upon your physical health.

What are the similarities between the bio-medical and complementary models of health?
The biomedical model of health looks at individual physical functioning and describes bad health and illness as the presence of disease and ill symptoms as a result of physical causes such as injury or infections and doesn't look at social and psychological factors. The social model of health looks at how society and our environment affect our everyday health and well-being, including factors such as are social class, poverty, poor housing, diet, pollution and income. Also Biomedical concentrates only on the individual, social medical does not solely concentrate on the individual.
Describe social and cultural influences on health illness and cultural patterns?
Social causes of Ill health Health is affected by the social conditions in which people live and work. Poor social conditions and poverty increase the risks of ill health and disease. The social causes include poor sanitation, nutritional deficiencies, violence and accidents, poor water supply, little or no access to health services, lack of safety at work, overcrowded or poorly maintained housing, insufficient or poor quality food, environmental pollution, bad sanitation, stress, lack of exercise due to working, and travelling patterns etc. Many causes of diseases and ill health are related to the social conditions of our lives because everything, including health, is dependent of social conditions we live in. If the social conditions are not good, then both physical and mental heath get badly affected. Proper understanding of these causes can help care for your health in a better way.

How can social factors affect health?
It depends what your specifically focusing on, but I'm studying Applied Sociological Perspectives at college in my 2nd year and we've looked at how the UK's Social Class table can actually affect the health and how job differences, income, and living standards, also it could be things such as socially healthy, if you are isolating yourself, its bad for your PIES (Physical, Intellectual, Emotional & Social). Language Barriers also affect health, because if a person who emigrates knows very little English and doesn't know about health care services, that will affect their health too.. the 2001 Census says that the majority of people who reported poor health were those from Ethnic Minority groups who have emigrated to England, this is normally because they are unaware that Health Care is free in most places of the UK... Sorry to ramble, but hope it helps :)
