The Environmental Risk Transition and Changing Health in Low and Middle Income Countries

Jewitt, Sarah; Smallman-Raynor, Matthew

Abstract

Many low and middle income countries continue to experience a transition in the major causes of illness and death as they develop economically. Particularly rapid transitions have been witnessed in some countries of South and Southeast Asia and, to a lesser extent, sub-Saharan Africa over the last 20 years. This article draws on the closely related frameworks of the epidemiological transition and the environmental risk transition to explore the geographical dimensions of these developments.
