Population And Health

Front 1

Interactive map

Shows where more people are in the world. such as Region, Continent, Countries.

Back 1

Cartogram of world population

The larger the county , The more people they have.

Front 2

Population Density

Shows where the most places on earth is crowded.

Back 2

Clusters of High Population: South Asia

Front 3

Clusters of Population: Europe

Back 3

Clusters of Population: East Asia

Front 4

Clusters of Population: Southeast Asia

Back 4

Sparsely population regions

Dry lands

wet lands

cold lands

high lands

All of these are considered non-ecumene areas. Or areas where humans have a hard time inhabiting land permanently. Areas that are settled are referred to as ecumene

Front 5

Arithmetic Density

Total number of objects in an area

Back 5

Physiological Density

Number of people supported by a unit area of arable land (land able to be farmed)

Front 6

Agricultural Density

Ratio of the number of farmers to amount of arable land

Back 6

Crude Birth Rate (CBR)

– total number of live births in a year for every 1,000 people alive in society.

Front 7

Crude Death Rate (CDR)

– total number of deaths in a year for every 1,000 people alive in society.

Back 7

Dependency Ratio

Defined as the number of people who are too young or too old to work, compared to the number of people in their productive (working) years.

The Demographic Transition Model

It is a model consisting of four stages that helps to explain the rising and falling of natural increase over time in a country.

Back 8

Demographic Transition Model

Stage 1: Low Growth

Marked by very high birth and death rates

Front 9

Demographic Transition Model

Stage 2: High Growth

Marked by rapidly declining death rates and very high birth rates = High natural increase

Back 9

Demographic Transition Model

Stage 3: Moderate Growth

Marked by rapid decline in birth rates and steady decline in death rates = moderate natural increase

Front 10

Demographic Transition Model

Stage 4:Low GrowthMarked by very low birth and death rates = stagnant or population decrease

Back 10

Demographic Transition Possible

Stage 5: Decline

Very low CBR (crude birth rate)

Increasing CDR (crude death rate)

More elderly people than young persons

Negative NIR (natural increase rate)

Front 11

Epidemiologic Transition Model

Stage 1: Infectious Disease and Famine (High CDR)Main cause of death: infectious and parasitic diseases

Back 11

Epidemiologic Transition Model

Stage 2: Receding (fewer) Pandemic (widespread diseases) (Rapidly Declining CDR)

Pandemic is a disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects a very high proportion of the population.

Front 12

Epidemiologic Transition Model

Stage 3: Degenerative Diseases (Moderately Declining CDR)

Characterized by…Decrease in deaths from infectious diseases.Increase in chronic disorders associated with aging.Cardiovascular (heart) diseasesCancer

Back 12

Epidemiologic Transition Model

Stage 4: Delayed Degenerative Diseases (Low but Increasing CDR)

Characterized by…Deaths caused by cardiovascular diseases and cancer delayed because of modern medicine treatments.

Epidemiologic Transition Model

EvolutionInfectious disease microbes evolve and establish a resistance to drugs and insecticides.Antibiotics and genetic engineering contributes to the emergence of new strains of viruses and bacteria.PovertyInfectious diseases are more prevalent in poor areas because of presence of unsanitary conditions and inability to afford drugs needed for treatment.Increased ConnectionsAdvancements in modes of transportation, especially air travel, makes it easier for an individual infected in one country to be in another country before exhibiting symptoms.

Back 13

Health Care

Health conditions are different around the world, mostly, because countries possess different resources to care for people who are sick.

Front 14

Expenditures ($$ spent) on Health Care

Health care was more than 15 percent of total government expenditures in Europe and North America and less than 5 percent in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
