1 The costs and benefits of globalization are not always distributed equally—globalization does not ensure equal distribution of health-care costs and benefits.
2 Trends in birth, death, immigration, and migration patterns point toward population growth in Asia and Africa that will result in them becoming the youthful areas of the world.
3 In 2009, 50% of the world's population lived in urban areas; by 2025, this is projected to increase to 57%.
4 A shift from traditional diseases, such as those resulting from infection, to modern diseases that result from lifestyle choices has been noted in developed countries.
