Life Expectancy: 2000 Japan - 81 years France - 79 years U.S years Congo - 49 years Angola - 35 years

Leading Causes of Death Worldwide - infectious and parasitic diseases. U.S. - heart disease, cancer, stroke U.S. youths - nearly 3/4 of deaths result from motor-vehicle crashes, unintentional injuries, homicide, and suicide.

HIV/AIDS: A Global Concern Transmission: Sexual intercourse Sharing unclean intravenous needles From infected mother to fetus Blood transfusions or blood products Breast-milk

HIV/AIDS in the U.S. Leading cause of death among African American men ages 25 to 44. At least half of new infections are among people under age 25. Nearly half of HIV cases are among females.

Mental Illness 40% of Americans will experience a mental disorder in their lifetime. Nearly 25% of U.S. adults suffer from mental disorders or substance abuse disorders. In 1998, major depression was the leading cause of disability in developed nations.

Structural-Functionalist Perspective Health care functions to maintain well-being of individuals and society. High cost of medical care is necessary to entice people into medical profession. HIV/AIDS helped unite and mobilize gay rights activists.

Conflict Perspective Focuses on how wealth, status, and power influence illness and health care. Lack of status and power affects the health of women in many societies.

Symbolic Interactionist Perspective Focuses on how meanings, definitions, and labels influence health care. Illness and disease are conditions that society defines as illness or disease. There are stigmatizing effects of being labeled as ill.

Poverty and Health Poverty is the world’s leading health problem. Associated with: unsanitary living conditions. hazardous working conditions. lack of access to medical care. onadequate nutrition.
