PDF20262 pages691 KB
The article highlights a statistical framing of the epidemiological transition, categorizing diseases by age of onset into four life-stages. It stresses that while aging-related diseases dominate the global burden, infant diseases remain significant in many low-income countries. The authors argue for a dual focus on both aging-related and infant diseases to ensure comprehensive health system preparedness. The analysis is grounded in Global Burden of Disease data and emphasizes the importance of life-course investments in health.
