- Global Patterns of Health, Disease and Death
- Health is better in wealthier countries
- Health is defined as your physical, mental and social well-being and the absence of disease
- Varies in different parts of the world
- difficult to measure, which makes it pretty difficult to compare the health of people in two places
- There are health indicators: -life expectancy - infant mortality etc
- Global Morbidity Patterns are Different Depending on the type of Disease
- MORBIDITY - illness
- PREVALENCE - the total number of cases in a population at a particular time
- INCIDENCE - the number of new cases in a population during a particular time period
- Indicators of morbidity

- Indicators of morbidity
- MORBIDITY - illness
- Morbidity Patterns of Infectious Diseases
- Infectious disease morbidity in poorer countries
- Malnutrition - reduces the body's ability to fight disease
- Lack of lean water and sanitation - increases the spread of diseases
- Overcrowded conditions in urban areas - increases the spread
- Poor access to health care - people who can't access drugs to treat and prevent infectious diseases
- Limited health education - people aren't well-informed about how they can avoid infectious diseases
- Disease vectors - organisms that spread disease are more common in poorer countries
- Infectious disease morbidity in poorer countries
- Morbidity Patterns of Non-communicable Disease
- The reasons for high non-communicable disease morbidity in wealthier countries
- Higher proportion of older people - if there are more old people more people are likely to suffer from diseases associated with old age
- Unhealthy lifestyle - the risk of getting some diseases increases if you're over weight or obese, eat unhealthily and don't exercise enough
- The reasons for high non-communicable disease morbidity in wealthier countries
- Mortality patterns depends on Morbidity and the ability to treat morbidity
- Mortality means death
- Mortality rate is how many people die in a population over a period of time - use rates to compare global patterns of death
- The risk of dying from a disease is much higher in poorer countries because of
- Malnutrition - reduces the body's ability to fight disease
- Poor access to health - people can't access the drugs they need to treat the disease
- Health and Disease are World issues
- Infectious dieases can spread to other countries and can even spread around the world
- Countries need to work together to help improve global health and prevent diseases spreading
- Organisations like the WHO work with most Governments and in most countries to help eradicate and prevent disease
