Epidemiological transition

Epidemiological transition is the changing patterns of disease (and causes of death) seen in human history. Those of us interested in public health and global health need to understand that this process isn’t over. The epidemiology of non-communicable disease and infectious disease is still changing. In this video, we look at some of the challenges faced by developing countries in terms of the double burden of disease and the difficulties associated with managing non-communicable disease. We also look at the future and the likely return of high rates of infectious disease globally.

You are so right. Now is 2020 and we have COVID-19.

[SS-plds]

Okay, here's a fact: You're only searching this up for AP Human Geo class, and you went straight to the comments section.

[patriciaschwerdtle]

Great video, nuanced and complex as it should be. Just when I think I've nailed my teaching and learning materials for my global health students.... Greg Martin ups the game. Thanks again Greg!

[Zuerox]

Let’s go. I’m ready to ace this AP human geo- test

been to four lectures, didnt understand a thing and this video clears everything up in 3 minutes. wow

[RobertFontaine-so]

So, I am still waiting to hear about your suggested modifications to the Bradford Hill criteria. I'd also appreciate a more epidemiologically relevant, real example of confounding. Thanks

[susannenida]

Your video's get me so excited for a career in the Public Health profession ! You are a blessing and your video's are amazing !

[LettersFromSam]

This was a great video! Thank you! I loved the music. It kept my interest the whole way through.

[nikeshmaheshwari]

you made this topic very easy. Thank you Dr Greg

[HilaGozani]

Wow! Griping - loved the clear concise presentation and wonderful graphics. I want more of this. Bravo.

Commenter Professor Schwerdtle nailed it - Greg Martin MD MBA MPH - Ups the Game for Professors!

[niallroche]

Another great video Greg. I wish more people could see this. In my opinion many focused on developing countries are sleepwalking in the last century, not realising the NCD burden that already exists in those countries and the effect it is having on people and health systems.

[jvaughan]

Great video. Looking at the challenges we now face, with regards to disease, was most interesting.

[garethjones]

hi from ib geo. we love this video. you are smart.

[LDNNYC]

Greg, this is a great video! Easily understood, I'm sharing!

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most dangerous situation in india. One can easily buy any kind of antibiotic like 4th or 5th gen cephalosporins in any pharmacy with out doctors prescription . This made mdr TB to XDR TB .

Do you think chronic/infectious will eventually win out against the other in the future and be more predominant? Or will there be spots or clusters of one or the other depending on the location?

[drsamruddhiyerunkar]

Great video.. Ur explanation are concise and easy to grasp.. Thank you

[DrMaxdC]

Great and succinct video, many thanks. But: a double burden of diseases... isn’t it a contradiction of “transition”? The original theory published in 1971 came on the back of the experience of tremendous successes of large-scale vaccination programs hence might have promoted a belief of an imminent global win on infectious diseases. But as you show at the end: this was celebrating too early. Hence, I prefer teaching my students about how a change in disease patterns led us to belief (in the 1970s until ? The 90s) in a epidemiological transition, but the experience in sub-Saharan Africa and other nations, plus the most recent re-emergence of certain infectious diseases calls us to put this transition model to rest. And be open to the new challenge ahead!

This is an incredible example of group think. He just told people in developed countries that they are going to be sick way more often because of globalization. I think the people in developed countries ( not this group) are catching on and deciding to resist globalization.
