- Global Patterns of Health, Disease and Death
- Health is better in more developed countries
- Physical, mental and social well-being
- And the absence of disease
- Measured using health indicators
- E.G. Health life expectancy (HALE)
- No. years a newborn child can expect to live in full health without major disease
- E.G. Health life expectancy (HALE)
- How healthy a country is depends on:
- How much disease there is
- What types of diseases there are
- Physical, mental and social well-being
- Global Morbidity Patterns
- Different depending on the type of disease
- Morbidity?
- The rate of disease in a population
- Indicators include:
- Incidence
- The no. of new cases in a pop during a particular time period
- Prevalence
- The total no. of cases in a pop at a particular time
- Incidence
- Global patterns differ depending on the type of disease you're looking at:
- Pattern of infectious diseases
- There is ^ TB morbidity in less developed countries
- sub-Saharan Africa
- Reasons for ^
- Limited healthcare
- Lack of clean water, sanitation & health care
- Overcrowding
- Reasons for ^
- sub-Saharan Africa
- Example: TB
- Low TB morbidity in more developed countries
- UK, USA & Australia
- Passed between people
- There is ^ TB morbidity in less developed countries
- Pattern of non-communicable diseases
- ^ BC morbidity is more developed countries
- UK, USA & Australia
- Reasons for high morbidity in of non-communicable diseases in more developed countries
- Unhealthy lifestyle
- Risk increases if overweight for some diseases
- More common factors in developed countries
- More likely to suffer from diseases (cancers & heart disease)
- More common factors in developed countries
- Risk increases if overweight for some diseases
- Higher proportion of elderly people
- More likely to suffer from diseases (cancers & heart disease)
- Unhealthy lifestyle
- Reasons for high morbidity in of non-communicable diseases in more developed countries
- UK, USA & Australia
- Example : Breast Cancer
- Low BC morbidity in less developed areas
- Africa & Asia
- Can't be caught from someone else
- ^ BC morbidity is more developed countries
- Pattern of infectious diseases
- Mortality Patterns depend on ...
- Ability to treat morbidity
- Morbidity
- Mortality means death.
- In general, ^ morbidity is associated with ^ mortality
- Mortality rate = how many people die in a pop over a period of time
- Can use mortality rates to compare global patterns of death
- Risk of dying ^ is less DC
- Poor access to health care
- Malnutrition (reduces the body's ability to fight disease
- Risk of dying ^ is less DC
- Can use mortality rates to compare global patterns of death
- ETM
- Model suggests countries move through stages as they become more economically and socially developed
- Malnutrition decreases as food availability ^
- Clean water becomes available and sanitation improves
- Decreases spread of diseases
- Better access to health care & better health education
- Some think there is also a stage 5 - re-emergence of ID due to antibiotic resistant bacteria
- STAGE 1
- Average Life Expectancy (ALE) is low - 50
- ^ no. deaths - infectious diseases
- E.g. Angola
- Pestilence and famine
- STAGE 2
- ALE starts to increase - 60
- No. deaths from ID falls
- Better healthcare and living conditions
- Haiti
- Receding pandemics
- STAGE 4
- Delay of degenerative diseases
- UK
- NCD may be prevented or their onset delayed
- Death rate reduced by better treatement
- ALE - 80
- Model suggests countries move through stages as they become more economically and socially developed
- QUESTIONS
- 3. Outline the ETM
- 1. What is morbidity?
- 2. Access the similarities of global patterns of obesity to that of NCD
- 4. Describe the global pattern of life expectancy
- Health is better in more developed countries
