In these countries improved nutrition  better housing  the control ofinfection  smaller family sizes  and higher standards of education have brought about a situation in which more than 97% of all liveborn children can expect to survive the first half ofthe three score years and ten that formerly was regarded as the allotted span oflife. From then on  however  the position is less satisfactory. Some improvement has occurred; but the proportion of survivors who die prematurely  that is under 70 years of age  varies from 25% to over 50% in men and from 13% to 28% in women  the extremes in both sexes being recorded  respectively  in Japan and Hungary. Most of these deaths under 70 years of age must now be called premature  even in Japan. For most of them are not the result of any inevitable aging process  but instead are the consequences of diseases (or types of trauma) that have lower-often much lower-age-specific incidence rates in many of the least developed countries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45921996177461,"sku":"ByrdShop_0896032647","price":336.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780896032644.jpg?v=1787609450","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/western-diseases-their-dietary-prevention-and-reversibility-9780896032644","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
