question
demographic transitions
answer
change in a population from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates
-high fertility and high mortality, resulting in slow population growth
-improvement in hygiene and nutrition, leading to a decreased burden of infectious disease
-high fertility and high mortality, resulting in slow population growth
-improvement in hygiene and nutrition, leading to a decreased burden of infectious disease
question
epidemiological transitions
answer
A historical perspective on the relationship between human mortality and infectious disease among populations
-high and fluctuation mortality, due to poor health, epidemics, and famine
-further decline in mortality, increasing life expectancy, and predominance of noncommunicable diseases
-high and fluctuation mortality, due to poor health, epidemics, and famine
-further decline in mortality, increasing life expectancy, and predominance of noncommunicable diseases
question
-as a country becomes more developed, levels of demographic or epidemiologic transitions shift upward
-mortality rates decrease
-more attention being paid to quality of life for all citizens of the country, including elderly
-as more of the population are educated, indicators of health, such as higher life expectancy and lower mortality rates improves

answer
positive achievements for global health
question
global burden of disease
answer
the importance of risks to health and their outcomes in different demographic populations and social settings
-growing disproportionately in the world and is largely affected by climate, public policy, age of the population, socioeconomic conditions and risk factors

answer
top 10 facts according to the global burden of disease
question
life expectancy at birth
answer
average number of years a newborn is expected to live if the current mortality rates continue to apply
question
HALE (Health Adjusted Life Expectancy)
answer
average number of years that a person can expect to live in "full health" by taking account years lived in less than full health due to disease and or injury
question
DALYs (disability-adjusted life years)
answer
quantifying the burden of disease to a healthy life. The loss of years related to burden of disease. The gap in years reflects the current state of health versus an optimum state of health of a nation.
