- W2218210528 abstract "According to 1994 WHO statistics about 51 million people died in the world 40% of them from contagious diseases most of which could have been prevented by improved hygiene and vaccinations. In the developing countries the average life expectancy is only 43 years and it may even decline while in the industrialized countries it has reached more than 78 years. 12 million children under the age of 5 die every year. Pulmonary inflammation and other respiratory infections kill 4 million children annually; diarrhea is responsible for 3 million child deaths malaria for another million and tetanus for 500000 deaths. Even measles which is considered to have been subdued kills 1.2 million children in the developing world. One-third of all children 200 million worldwide are undernourished therefore particularly vulnerable to all kinds of infectious diseases. Nevertheless in the past decade 80% of children were vaccinated against diphtheria measles neonatal tetanus whooping cough and tuberculosis. From 1985 to 1993 the number of deaths from these diseases among children under age 5 dropped from 3.7 million to 2.4 million. On the other hand 5 million children will be infected with HIV by the year 2000 and another 5-10 million will be orphaned by AIDS. Infectious and parasitic diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide claiming 16.4 million victims followed by cardiovascular diseases with 10 million deaths per year and cancer which took the lives of 6 million people in 1994. Poor hygiene and life style factors account for or contribute to more than three-fifths of all mortality. In 1994 there were 3 million deaths caused by smoking; by 2020 an estimated 10 million people will die because of it. Morbidity is also alarming with about 2 billion people being ill every minute. 200 million people suffer from schistosomiasis 18 million are affected by river blindness 600 people die from work-related accidents every day and another 33000 are injured." @default.
