For many years it was believed that because of “quality” in health care, life, education and the economy, developing countries had a higher prevalence of heart disease, cancer, heart disease and diabetes. A study conducted in England clarifies this statement.
One of the reasons for the higher mortality rate is that the disease is detected at a more advanced stage, compared to high-income Western countries. Photo: Shutterstock.
Results
Researchers from Imperial College London found that the level death by heart disease in tropical countries and those with lower economic conditions, are more likely to die from the diseases mentioned earlier: 90 deaths per 100,000 people. In contrast to countries that have higher incomes and better conditions: 61 deaths per 100,000.
Other diseases
Similarly, the authors have observed that cervical, stomach, and liver cancers, diabetes (32 deaths per 100,000 vs. 11) and stroke (49 deaths per 100,000 vs. 11) current rates death higher in low- and middle-income tropical countries than in Western countries.
Death from this disorder
Developing countries have levels death for diabetes of 32 people per 100,000, in high-income countries it is 11. Likewise in tropical countries stroke causes 49 deaths per 100,000 and in developed countries 11.
numbers and reasons
Of the 25.3 million deaths in the tropical region in 2016, 34% were caused by communicable and parasitic diseases, conditions related to pregnancy, childbirth and malnutrition, while 55% were caused by non-communicable diseases such as cancer or heart disease.
One reason for the high rates death is that the disease is detected at a more advanced stage, compared to high-income Western countries.
