| Description: | The pattern of diseases underlying morbidity and mortality has shifted
markedly from the beginning of this century. The contributions of the
infectious diseases has declined and the incidence of such degenerative
diseases as cancer and coronary heart disease has increased dramatically
during the same period. These changes have had a considerable impact or.
community medical strategies. In the case of the infectious diseases, the
causes were clear cut, the relationship of risk exposure to disease
development was strong and the efficacy of treatment and prevention were
immediately obvious. The validity of this is evident from the rise in
the incidence of whooping cough following a fall off in immunisation for
this disease. |
