APHG Rubenstein Ch. 2: Population & Health

Stage 1 of the epidemiological transition model:

One major criticism of the Demographic Transition Model is that:

Stage 2 of the DTM is characterized by:

Computed by subtracting CDR from CBR:

Life expectancy means:

The portion of the Earth's surface occupied by permanent human settled is called the:

Which region of the world has the highest life expectancy?

The DTM does not include:

Land suited for agricultural use:

All of the following are examples of government population control measures in India except:

Generally, if a country has a lower agricultural density, the country is probably:

High agricultural density is typically associated with:

Number of working-age people divided by number of persons aged 65 and older:

All of the following are indicators of health except:

Too many people for the available resources:

Nearly _________ of Earth's people live in East Asia.

Some people who disagree with Malthus argue that:

Birth rates rapidly decline, death rates continue to decline, NIR moderates.

The population of these 2 countries adds up to more than 1/3 of the world's total population:

The ratio of the number of farmers to the amount of arable land.

True or False: Globalization has increased the diffusion of global pandemics.

Comparing arithmetic to physiological density helps geographers determine:

# of males per 100 females in the population of a country:

The ratio of the number of farmers working the arable land in a country/area:

Very low birth & death rates produce virtually no long-term natural increase in population.

"Too wet, too dry, too low, too high."  This helps us remember:

Stage 3 of the DTM is characterized by:

Treatable diseases are more prevalent:

# of people too old or too young to work; must be supported by working age population:

Which is a part of the ecumene?

Natural increase rate approaches zero is known as:

If a country has a thick middle on its population pyramid, what is the best inference?

The % a population grows in one year's time is known as:

Which of the following is not a major population cluster in the world today?

Infant mortality rate refers to:

Stage 4 of the ETM is characterized by:

Stage 4 of the DTM is associated with:

Rate of Natural Increase (NIR) does not include:

One population problem created by China's One Child Policy has been:

Which of the following countries is most densely populated?

If a country's population pyramid has a thick base and skinny top, what can you infer?

Birth rates tend to decrease if:

True or False: Canada's life expectancy is higher than that of the US.

Generally speaking, human populations tend to locate near:

Which of the regions listed is most sparsely populated?

Which country is arguably in or approaching Stage 5 of the DTM?

In a region, the number of people supported by a unit area of arable land:

Malthus's critics argue that:

In the DTM, what causes the sudden drop in death rate in Stage 2?

In which part of the world is use of family planning highest?

Stage 1 of the DTM is characterized by:

The world's most populous country today is:

Which is associated with Stage 3 of the Epidemiological Transition Model?

Branch of medical science concerned with diseases in human populations:

Focuses on distinctive health threats in each stage of the DTM:

Which stage of the DTM is characterized by rapidly declining CDRs & high CBR (very high NIR)?

A process of change in a society's population from high CBR & CDR to low CBR & CDR:

China's One Child Policy is an example of:

Which stage of the DTM is characterized by very high NIR due to improvements in human health?

A country's unique population structure (age/gender) displayed on a bar graph:

Which two regions of the world have the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS?

Medical tech invented in Europe & N. America, diffused to poorer countries & lessened disease:

The world's largest country in terms of land area is:

Argued that the world's rate of population increase was outstripping available food supply.

The only stage of the DTM associated with a negative NIR:

Developed theory of overpopulation of humans:

Stage 2 of the ETM is characterized by:

Disease that occurs over a wide geographic area & affects high proportion of the population:

A country in stage five of the demographic transition model would likely need to:

Stage of DTM characterized by population decline:

Throughout most of human history, the rate of natural increase (NIR) was typically:

Which stage of the DTM is characterized by high CBR, high CDR, and low NIR?

True or False:There is a statistical correlation between government spending on health & health

Which stage of the Demographic Transition Model (DTM) is controversial/questionable?

Crude birth rate (CBR) is the:
