The Geography of Non-Infectious Disease, Used [Paperback]

Geographical studies of disease patterns are essential for illuminating the role of environmental factors in the etiology of disease, particularly in relation to cancer and coronary heart disease. This book surveys the global distribution of non-infective disease, rectifying an imbalance in studies of this kind by emphasizing work done in developing countries. It is important reading for all general physicians, surgeons, and specialists, and will stimulate continued geographical epidemiological study in all parts of the world. Public health and community medicine specialists, geographers, and social scientists concerned with environmental determinants of health and disease will also find this book to be useful.
