If you were a 3-year-old living in a developing country, such as Africa, what would be the most likely cause of death as a toddler? Is this different from the leading cause of death for toddlers in the U.S.? Explain

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: In developing countries, the leading cause of death in early childhood is disease. This is due to a number of factors: lack of medical care, poor nutrition that leads to a weak immune system, and poor sanitation that increases chances of infection and death. Although young children in developing countries have higher rates of accidents than their age mates in developed countries, they are still most likely to die of some type of disease. The leading cause of death in developed countries is accidents.
