Sociology
In stage 3 of the ‘health transition’, the main causes of illness and death are:
acute, infectious diseases such as typhus, measles and cholera
respiratory diseases such as pneumonia and asthma
chronic, degenerative diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, and strokes
too diverse to put into one category
chronic, degenerative diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, and strokes
The health transition is a change in the pattern of principal diseases that cause illness and death in societies; this coincides with the process of industrialization. In pre-modern societies, acute, infectious diseases cause most ill-health, and epidemics strike whole populations. In Stage 2, respiratory diseases are also significant, and diseases are concentrated in poor areas. In the final stage, these two types of illness are largely under control through advances in medicine, but chronic, degenerative diseases emerge as a problem for the ageing population. 289-290
