2.5 Flashcards
What is stage one of the DMI
High stationary Stage
Very high birth and death rates resulting in little population growth
Not industrialized at all
No countries are in stage 1
What is stage 2 of the DTM
Early expanding stage
Death rates drop due to the start of industrialization (healthcare, etc)
many sub-Saharan countries
What is stage 3 of the DTM
Late expanding stage
Still beginning of industrialization
Birth rates still exceed death rates but they are declining
What is stage 4 of the DTM
Low stationary stage
Birth and death rates are similar but lower numbers than of previous stages, the population grows more slow
“End” of industrialization
What is stage 5 of the DTM
Death rates exceed birth rates although the population can still grow because of immigration
Japan and some European countries
What is the demographic transition model
Shows the relationships between the birth and death rates based on the level of industrialization shows in stages (also shows RNI)
What is non linear progression in the DTM
countries that are experiencing war, uncontrolled diseases, and low income DONT follow the DTM making it non linear
What is the Accelerated transition in the DTM
A country will skip a stage even before it is fully developed usually because of strict policies
What do both the non-linear progression and accelerated progression show?
That the economic development shows no correlation to the birth and death rates
Epidemiology
A branch of medicine that studies the distribution and control of diseases and health conditions
What is the Epidemiology transition theory
How changes in living standards and health situations affect the pattern of diseases. As countries develop, the health conditions improve
Degenerative diseases
A disease that becomes progressively worse. EX: cancer and dementia
What is age 1 of the epidemiological transition model?
Consistent outbreaks of deadly diseases, the RNI is close to 0, pregnant women and infants are more vulnerable, life expectancy is 20-40. No countries are in the stage
What is age 2 of the epidemiological transition model?
Economic development increases
What is age 3 of the epidemiological transition model?
Age of degenerative and human made diseases
Mortality rates decline and now the age expectancy is 70 years old, major causes of death are now degenerative diseases which commonly occur in the elderly. This is most developed countries
