In demography and medical geography, epidemiological transition is a theory which "describes changing population patterns in terms of fertility, life expectancy, mortality, and leading causes of death." [1]

Peculiar variations in the pattern, the pace, the determinants and the consequences of population change differentiate three basic models of the epidemiologic transition: the classical or western model, the accelerated model and the contemporary or delayed model.

Epidemiologic transition, the process by which the pattern of mortality and disease in a population is transformed from one of high mortality among infants and children and episodic famine and epidemics affecting all age groups to one of degenerative and human-made diseases affecting principally the elderly.

2022年2月10日 · The epidemiologic transition describes the mortality component of the ‘demographic transition’, i.e. the long-term decline of (first) mortality and (then) fertility that accompanied socioeconomic modernization around the world and led to rapid increases in human population numbers.

An epidemiologic transition has paralleled the demographic and technologic transitions in the now developed countries of the world and is still underway in less-developed societies. A ple evidence may be cited to document this transition in which de- generative and

The main feature of the epidemiological transition is a shift in the recorded causes of death from infectious diseases to other morbid conditions. This paper outlines modifications made to Omran's original model and stages of transition, and ...

In 1971, Omran proposed a theory of ‘epidemiological transition (ET)’, which grew out of the demographic transition model and incorporated more detailed consideration of particular diseases as causes of death. He particularly based this on mortality changes in England, Wales, Japan, and Sweden during the 19th century (5).

The reduction of mortality in Europe and most western countries during the nineteenth century, as described by the classical model of epidemiologic transition, was determined primarily by ecobiologic and socioeconomic factors.

The epidemiological transition was thought to be a unidirectional process, beginning when infectious diseases were predominant and ending when noncommunicable diseases dominated the causes of death.

2014年5月15日 · Background: Epidemiological transition (ET) theory, first postulated in 1971, has developed alongside changes in population structures over time. However, understandings of mortality transitions and associated epidemiological changes remain poorly defined for public health practitioners.
