However, the determinants of the social health gradient among the elderly have also become topical issues in transitional economies experiencing epidemiological transition and population ageing.
Linking the health and function indices with future morbidity and mortality data, collected routinely as part of regular HDSS update rounds, will allow deeper understanding of the dynamics of health transition and population ageing in low- and middle-income countries (29– 31).
According to the basic principles of nonradiative transitions and population dynamics, we can obtain the spatial distribution of heat generation and temperature within the laser crystal through numerically solving heat conduction equation by finite element method (FEM).
7 Nutritional transition and the population aging occurring in Brazil have contributed to greater incidence and prevalence rates of noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCCD), including T2DM. 8, 9 Similarly to other emergent societies, T2DM, combined with cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia, appears as one of the most important public health problems among Brazilians.
Similarly to transition fitness and (population-wide) fitness (see above) per mating plate, a male haploid fitness coefficient was defined as: wm = ln pt1/ 1-pt1))- ln pt1/ 1-pt1)); with p t0 being the fixed 0.5 wild type allele frequencies at the set up generation and p t1 the observed wild type allele frequencies after the competition [ 85].

Viet Nam, a developing country in South-East Asia, is undergoing demographic transition and experiencing rapid population ageing.
While Vietnam is undergoing demographic transition and experiencing rapid population ageing, there is still no specific policy on health for the elderly (32, 33).
In China, a neighbouring country with a similar fast-growing economy, political transition, large population and sociohealth inequalities, reported problems in EQ-5D dimensions were found to be much lower in the general population (corresponding figures 4.3%, 2.7%, 4%, 7.2% and 5.2% of men).
The health transition is the latest conceptual effort made by social and public health scientists to describe and explain secular transitions in population and health dynamics.
This paper explores how contraceptive patterns and behaviors changed during the course of China's population transition and a period of low fertility from 1988 to 2006.
