Book excerpt: Indonesia is a populous, diverse country that has not been well studied in terms of health. This analysis addresses that knowledge gap in three aims by first, estimating the number deaths in Indonesia by province, year, age, and sex; second, developing a cause list based on cause of death assignment accuracy and estimating cause-specific mortality by province, age, and sex in 2014 according to that cause list; and third, comparing four methods to attribute deaths to risk factors that can be measured by fine particulate matter concentration. The first aim adapted existing demographic techniques used by the Global Burden of Disease study to estimate subnational all-cause mortality over time by age and sex in Indonesia. Province-level life tables were generated from survey data about household deaths given the lack of a vital registration system in Indonesia and included in the analysis, along with all available data for population, education, income, child mortality, and adult mortality. The second aim consists of two parts. First, an analytical cause list was generated based on the accuracy of cause of death assignments in physician-certified verbal autopsy data. Second, this cause list was applied to all available physician-certified verbal autopsy data in Indonesia in order to estimate cause-specific mortality by province, age, and sex in 2014 using small area estimation methods. The third aim compares four methods of calculating attributable burden to risk factors related to fine particulate matter-ambient air pollution, household air pollution, active smoking, and secondhand smoke-for fatal health outcomes that have an established relationship between fine particulate matter exposure level and risk ratio of the outcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The population of Asia is growing both larger and older. Demographically the most important continent on the world, Asia's population, currently estimated to be 4.2 billion, is expected to increase to about 5.9 billion by 2050. Rapid declines in fertility, together with rising life expectancy, are altering the age structure of the population so that in 2050, for the first time in history, there will be roughly as many people in Asia over the age of 65 as under the age of 15. It is against this backdrop that the Division of Behavioral and Social Research at the U.S. National Institute on Aging (NIA) asked the National Research Council (NRC), through the Committee on Population, to undertake a project on advancing behavioral and social research on aging in Asia. Aging in Asia: Findings from New and Emerging Data Initiatives is a peer-reviewed collection of papers from China, India, Indonesia, Japan, and Thailand that were presented at two conferences organized in conjunction with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Indian National Science Academy, Indonesian Academy of Sciences, and Science Council of Japan; the first conference was hosted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, and the second conference was hosted by the Indian National Science Academy in New Delhi. The papers in the volume highlight the contributions from new and emerging data initiatives in the region and cover subject areas such as economic growth, labor markets, and consumption; family roles and responsibilities; and labor markets and consumption.

This book was released on 2018-07-21 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost 25 years have passed since the Demography of Aging (1994) was published by the National Research Council. Future Directions for the Demography of Aging is, in many ways, the successor to that original volume. The Division of Behavioral and Social Research at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to produce an authoritative guide to new directions in demography of aging. The papers published in this report were originally presented and discussed at a public workshop held in Washington, D.C., August 17-18, 2017. The workshop discussion made evident that major new advances had been made in the last two decades, but also that new trends and research directions have emerged that call for innovative conceptual, design, and measurement approaches. The report reviews these recent trends and also discusses future directions for research on a range of topics that are central to current research in the demography of aging. Looking back over the past two decades of demography of aging research shows remarkable advances in our understanding of the health and well-being of the older population. Equally exciting is that this report sets the stage for the next two decades of innovative researchâ€"a period of rapid growth in the older American population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last 35 years or so have witnessed a dramatic shift in the demography of many developing countries. Before 1960, there were substantial improvements in life expectancy, but fertility declines were very rare. Few people used modern contraceptives, and couples had large families. Since 1960, however, fertility rates have fallen in virtually every major geographic region of the world, for almost all political, social, and economic groups. What factors are responsible for the sharp decline in fertility? What role do child survival programs or family programs play in fertility declines? Casual observation suggests that a decline in infant and child mortality is the most important cause, but there is surprisingly little hard evidence for this conclusion. The papers in this volume explore the theoretical, methodological, and empirical dimensions of the fertility-mortality relationship. It includes several detailed case studies based on contemporary data from developing countries and on historical data from Europe and the United States.
Download or read book A Global Perspective on Aging Adult Health and Inequality written by Nikkil Sudharsanan and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many developing countries, the share of the population living in the adult ages is increasing. Despite these demographic shifts, there are still many gaps in the research on aging and adult health in developing countries. My first chapter uses data on Indonesia to study socioeconomic differences in adult mortality. I find that the size of socioeconomic differences is much smaller in Indonesia than in many HICs and not explained by behavioral risk factors. My results suggest that mortality inequality in middle-income countries may follow a trajectory that is distinct from the current and historical experiences of HICs. One surprising finding from my first chapter is that high blood pressure is very high in Indonesia and strongly predictive of mortality. My second chapter builds on these findings by examining the etiology of high blood pressure in Indonesia. Using fixed-effects panel data methods with 17 years of longitudinal data in Indonesia, I find that changes in weight are related to changes in blood pressure across the entire distribution of BMI. My findings reveal that changes in weight among lean individuals can still have consequences for blood pressure and that conventional risk factors for high blood pressure may not be sensitive indicators of disease in developing contexts. Underlying the entire study of individual aging is the question of why some individuals engage in behaviors that are known to negatively affect health. My third chapter uses data on U.S. twins to investigate the degree to which multiple adult health behaviors can be explained by a single set of characteristics. Our paper combines approaches from economics and behavioral genetics to determine the contribution of schooling, genetic endowments, and environments to unhealthy behaviors among U.S. adults. We find that most health-related behaviors in adulthood are largely idiosyncratic and likely not caused by single factors. The results from the three chapters suggest that greater attention needs to be given to context-specific determinants of behavior, health, and mortality. As countries around the world continue to age, understanding why differences in aging exist across and within populations can provide new insights to promote healthy aging globally.
Download or read book The Epidemiological Transition written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines issues concerning how developing countries will have to prepare for demographic and epidemiologic change. Much of the current literature focuses on the prevalence of specific diseases and their economic consequences, but a need exists to consider the consequences of the epidemiological transition: the change in mortality patterns from infectious and parasitic diseases to chronic and degenerative ones. Among the topics covered are the association between the health of children and adults, the strong orientation of many international health organizations toward infant and child health, and how the public and private sectors will need to address and confront the large-scale shifts in disease and demographic characteristics of populations in developing countries.
Download or read book Indonesia Assessment written by Gavin W. Jones and published by Institute of Southeast Asian. This book was released on 1997 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indonesia's population, the fourth largest in the world, is expected to pass the 200 million mark in 1997. It has sustained high rates of economic growth over the past two decades. This has undoubtedly been related to its success in moderating earlier high rates of population growth, and to its significant accomplishments in human resource development. This volume is therefore timely. It presents a comprehensive evaluation of the current situation and assesses future prospects.
Download or read book Disease Control Priorities Third Edition Volume 2 written by Robert Black and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

Download or read book Mortality Transition in Indonesia 1950 1980 written by Budi Utomo and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ESCAP secretariat, with financial support from the UN Fund for Population Activities, initiated in 1984 the project ANALYSIS OF TRENDS AND PATTERNS OF MORTALITY IN THE ESCAP REGION. The 1st expert meeting under the project was held at Bangkok in November 1984. This report on Indonesia is divided into 9 categories and a bibliography. Sections include background information, mortality trends and patterns, mortality differentials, major health problems and causes of deaths, health services and their development, nutritional situation, health and population policies, health and mortality prospects, and policy recommendations. Some highlights of the data follow. 1. Infant mortality rate is an important indicator; trends in the rate clearly are important clues to comprehensive changes that are taking place in Indonesian society. Unfortunately, little has been reported on the child mortality rate prior to 1950. The actual death rate for the 1950s is uncertain. Some estimate the crude death rate at 20-30/1000 and the infant mortality rate at 100-300/1000. Mortality began to decline sharply in the 1960s. By the end of the 1960s, the infant mortality rate was estimated at around 137/1000 live births. By 1980, the infant mortality rate was 98/1000 live births. Further conclusions regarding the age pattern of mortality in Indonesia cannot yet be made during this decade. 2. Official figures show that 45% of all deaths in the 1st 5 years of life are due to immunizable diseases and diarrhea. Respiratory infections are the next causes of infant and child mortality; tetanus alone causes more than 40% of total mortality in the 1st month after birth. 3. Data from the early 1970s show that infant and childhood mortality was 28% higher among males than among females. 4. Estimations from the 1980 census show that the infant mortality rate is 30% lower for urban than rural areas. 5. Children born to mothers with higher educational attainment tend to have a lower risk of mortality. 6. Children of professional women have the best chances of survival, followed by the non-working group. The mortality rate of children of blue collar mothers was 2 times that of white collar mothers.
Download or read book Reducing Maternal and Neonatal Mortality in Indonesia written by Indonesian Academy of Sciences and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-12-26 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Republic of Indonesia, home to over 240 million people, is the world's fourth most populous nation. Ethnically, culturally, and economically diverse, the Indonesian people are broadly dispersed across an archipelago of more than 13,000 islands. Rapid urbanization has given rise to one megacity (Jakarta) and to 10 other major metropolitan areas. And yet about half of Indonesians make their homes in rural areas of the country. Indonesia, a signatory to the United Nations Millennium Declaration, has committed to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). However, recent estimates suggest that Indonesia will not achieve by the target date of 2015 MDG 4 - reduction by two-thirds of the 1990 under - 5 infant mortality rate (number of children under age 5 who die per 1,000 live births) - and MDG 5 - reduction by three-quarters of the 1990 maternal mortality ratio (number of maternal deaths within 28 days of childbirth in a given year per 100,000 live births). Although much has been achieved, complex and indeed difficult challenges will have to be overcome before maternal and infant mortality are brought into the MDG-prescribed range. Reducing Maternal and Neonatal Mortality in Indonesia is a joint study by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and the Indonesian Academy of Sciences that evaluates the quality and consistency of the existing data on maternal and neonatal mortality; devises a strategy to achieve the Millennium Development Goals related to maternal mortality, fetal mortality (stillbirths), and neonatal mortality; and identifies the highest priority interventions and proposes steps toward development of an effective implementation plan. According to the UN Human Development Index (HDI), in 2012 Indonesia ranked 121st out of 185 countries in human development. However, over the last 20 years the rate of improvement in Indonesia\'s HDI ranking has exceeded the world average. This progress may be attributable in part to the fact that Indonesia has put considerable effort into meeting the MDGs. This report is intended to be a contribution toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
Download or read book International Handbook of Adult Mortality written by Richard G. Rogers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-18 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook presents a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of unprecedented substantive, theoretical, methodological, and statistical developments and insights, and an in-depth examination of trends and patterns, in adult mortality around the world. With over two dozen chapters and more than 50 authors, this volume draws from top international mortality experts to provide one of the best overviews of life expectancy extant. The book documents remarkable gains in life expectancy, which stand out as one of the most important accomplishments of the twentieth century. Individuals in more developed countries can expect to live longer now than ever before, especially the Japanese who enjoy record-setting life expectancies. The book also explores unfortunate declines in life expectancy in selected countries brought on by such factors as infectious diseases; accidents, suicides, and homicides; and political and economic conflict and turmoil. This book synthesizes the wealth of mortality information available, clearly articulates the central findings to-date, identifies the most appropriate datasets and methods currently available, illuminates the central research questions, and develops an agenda to address these research questions. The authors carefully examine central factors related to mortality, including health behaviors, socioeconomic status, social relations, biomarkers, and genetic factors. The book will prove especially relevant to researchers, students, and policy makers within social and health sciences who want to better understand international trends and patterns in adult mortality.
