AP Human Geography Ch2 KQ4

recorded as a baby's death within the first year following birth and is normally given as number of cases per 1000 live births

the overall health of the society

the physical health of the mother, improper weaning, diarrhea, poor sanitation, and MALNUTRITION (leading killer of kids throughout the world)

- no it varies within the country
- it reveals the variations of access to health care and health education depending on region, ethnicity, social class, etc

the measurement of kids who die within the first month of life out of every 1000 live births. another measurement of kid's health in early life.

-record of deaths of kids between the ages 1 and 5
-CMR is high in Africa and Asia. Forms of protein malnutrition like kwashiorkor and forms of insufficient calories diseases like marasmus

-the number of years a member of a society/population can expect to live from birth
- a society's wellbeing

life expectancies; relatively short

- it is a figure that is an average that shows the amount of kids who die young and people you survive well beyond average
- a high IMR

local sanitation and disease

because where people live affects what types of diseases they may contract and where they move affects disease transmission

type of geography that studies diseases and uses locational analysis to predict diffusion and to prescribe prevention strategies

diseases that result from invasion of parasites and their multiple locations in the body

diseases that result from longevity and old age such as heart disease

-diseases we can trace through our ancestry which is the chromosomes and genes that define our makeup
- because they tend to appear in certain areas and in particular populations suggesting the need for spatial, local treatment

-pandemic, endemic, epidemic
-native; prevails over a small area

-diseases that are transmitted by an intermediary vector
- a transmitter that lives off a host and changes hosts to spread a disease

diseases transmitted by direct contact between the host and the victim

-an infectious disease spread by mosquitos that carry parasites in their saliva
-child;infant mortality

-they develop a degree of immunity and many affected by the disease are weak, lack energy, and face increased risk of other diseases developing
- people in tropical Africa

because of warm or moist conditions so these areas are affected the word, but vectored diseases are a global phenomena

-Acquired immune deficiency syndrome
-lower life expectancies

- Human Immunodeficiency Virus
- AIDS

-Africa (tropical)
- the disease began in africa
-it reshaped them

people with HIV don't show symptoms immediately, they can carry the virus for years without awareness and during this time they can transmit the virus to others

the number of kids orphaned because of the disease is still growing and many young kids (especially girls) are taken out of school to care for relatives with the disease

-people affected can now live longer with antiretroviral treatments which work to suppress the virus and halt progression of the disease
- distribution of condoms to even the remotest part of the country and reproductive education programs

influenza

higher life expectancies

location, new inventions, innovations, lifestyles, consumption patterns, exposure to new chemicals, impacts of preservations that are added to many foods that aren't fully understood. chronic diseases may come from practices we now take for granted

metabolic diseases and the body's inability to process all elements of a diet

we are constantly altering Earth's surface and that has a potential to influence our health and spread of disease

not just disease patterns but issues like access to medical care and ways place-based social norms affect disease transmisson

the countries may not have the money or might not want to reveal the information

the south is poor, less urbanized, and hospitals are less accessible

after the industrial belt many people lost their jobs and don't have enough money to have kids/keep kids alive
