Compare and contrast the patterns of health in low-income and in high-income countries.

What will be an ideal response?


- High-income nations tend to enjoy low infant mortality, high life expectancy, and better health care options. Longer life spans mean a greater tendency to develop chronic diseases. Not everyone in a high-income nation is affluent, however, so poverty still affects health.
- Low-income nations tend to have illnesses associated with poverty, poor nutrition, unsafe drinking water, and lack of access to medical care and preventative treatment. People are more likely to die of acute diseases.
