Long-term analyses of CO2 emissions shed light not only on specific industrialisation patterns of particular countries, but also generate insights regarding the industrialisation process itself, that today's industrialised countries have pursued and that developing countries are, to a large extent, following (Unruh and Carrillo-Hermosilla, 2006).
In this population, BV prevalence was higher than in corresponding populations in industrialised countries, but the pattern of vaginal micro-flora associated with BV was similar.
To date, the research that has suggested this predictive quality has been based on studies that have focused on crime patterns in western industrialised countries, such as the UK, USA and Australia.
Since the fall of the Soviet Union, mortality rates of Russian men have experienced dramatic fluctuations, diverging considerably from patterns seen in other industrialised countries.
Greenhouse gases from industrialised nations are profoundly changing global weather patterns with disastrous consequences for poorer countries.
From 1974 to 1982 production increased due to causes endogenous to the scientific system itself, as scientists brought their work into line with the patterns which characterised research in other industrialised countries.
Many studies have been undertaken in industrialised countries to assess the level and the pattern of utilization of dental health services [ 3, 4].
Our study shows, however, that the pattern of organisms cultured in BV in this environment is similar to what has been reported in corresponding populations in industrialised countries, and therefore suggest that different vaginal flora patterns are not the major explanation behind the higher prevalence of BV in Africa.
In addition, although in all study centres HR-HPV prevalence followed the general pattern of decrease with increasing age typical of industrialised countries, qualitative differences were found (Ravenna, Turin and Padua) in the shape of age specific prevalence.
The emerging pattern is that of a decline in the local cultural food traditions, which are being replaced by multinational corporations importing industrialised countries' food failures in the form of fast foods and sugar-sweetened beverages (45).
