    All of the following is true about population pyramids EXCEPT:

    • A.

      It is a diagram that gives information about the proportion of male and female in each age group .

    • B.

      It reflects the extent of the development of the country .

    • C.

      Migration could play a major role in the shaping of population pyramid

    • D.

      The shape of population pyramids vary from country to another , and similar at the same country in different time

    Correct Answer
    D. The shape of population pyramids vary from country to another , and similar at the same country in different time
    Explanation
    Population pyramids provide information about the proportion of males and females in each age group, reflecting the extent of a country's development. Migration can also have a significant impact on the shape of population pyramids. However, the statement that the shape of population pyramids varies from one country to another and remains similar within the same country over time is incorrect. Population pyramids can change over time within a country due to factors such as birth rates, death rates, and migration patterns.

    The question is asking which of the options is not included in DTM (Demographic Transition Model). DTM is a model that shows the transition from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates as a country develops. China, India, USA, and Sub Saharan African are all regions or countries that can be included in the DTM as they have populations that undergo demographic transitions. Therefore, the correct answer is "Non of above" as none of the options are excluded from the DTM.

    • E.

      Non of above

    Correct Answer
    D. Each year a new cohort is born and added to the bottom of the pyramids , while the older cohorts move up .
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "each year a new cohort is born and added to the bottom of the pyramids, while the older cohorts move up." This statement is true about the information in the reading of population pyramid. The population pyramid represents the number of males and females in each age group by the length of the vertical axis, and it narrows with the gain of members due to birth. Additionally, both male and female populations are plotted on the same side. Therefore, the statement that is false is that each year a new cohort is born and added to the bottom of the pyramids, while the older cohorts move up.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    One of the following is false regarding the constrictive pyramids :

    • A.

      Low mortality rate

    • B.

      Population growth is rapid

    B. Population growth is rapid
    Explanation
    The given answer states that population growth is rapid, which is false regarding constrictive pyramids. Constrictive pyramids indicate a declining population, with a smaller number of younger individuals compared to older individuals. This suggests a low birth rate and slower population growth. Therefore, the statement that population growth is rapid is incorrect.

    Explanation
    Public health is a field that aims to improve the overall health and well-being of a population. It focuses on various aspects such as disease control, nutrition, health promotion, and prevention. However, the treatment of the individual is not a primary focus of public health. While public health interventions may indirectly benefit individuals, the main goal is to address health issues at a population level rather than providing individual medical treatment.

    When you want to know how many people died from cancer disease from all people have suffered from cancer , which formula you use to calculate ?

    • A.

      Crude rate

    • B.

      Case fatality

    • C.

      Cause specific

    • D.

      Proportionate mortality ratio (PMR)

    • E.

      All of above

    Correct Answer
    B. Case fatality
    Explanation
    Case fatality is the appropriate formula to calculate the number of people who died from a specific disease, in this case, cancer, out of all the people who have suffered from cancer. It provides a measure of the severity of the disease and the likelihood of death once diagnosed with cancer. Crude rate refers to the overall death rate from a specific cause in a population, cause-specific rate focuses on the death rate from a specific cause within a population, and proportionate mortality ratio (PMR) compares the proportion of deaths from a specific cause to all deaths in a population. However, case fatality specifically addresses the number of deaths among those who have the disease.

    A. Reducing infant mortality , but mother still have high birth rate
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Reducing infant mortality, but mothers still have a high birth rate." This answer suggests that in a youth bulge, infant mortality rates have decreased, meaning fewer infants are dying at a young age. However, mothers still have a high birth rate, resulting in a larger population of young people. This can lead to various social and economic challenges for a country.

    • E.

      Prevalence: new cases/all population

    Correct Answer
    D. Defensive medicine is one of the reasons of why have the health care costs skyrocketed
    Explanation
    The given answer is correct because it states that defensive medicine is not one of the reasons why healthcare costs have skyrocketed. Defensive medicine refers to medical practices that are primarily driven by the desire to avoid lawsuits rather than providing the best care for the patient. While defensive medicine may contribute to healthcare costs, it is not the main reason for the drastic increase in costs. Factors such as technological advancements, administrative costs, and the aging population are more significant drivers of rising healthcare costs.

    • B.

      Their incidence is increasing but their prevalence is decreasing

    • C.

      Account for almost half of all deaths

    • D.

      Possibility of secondary prevention

    • E.

      One of the leading issues in the world

    Correct Answer
    B. Their incidence is increasing but their prevalence is decreasing
    Explanation
    The given statement is not true because it states that the incidence of NCDs is increasing but their prevalence is decreasing. However, incidence refers to the number of new cases of a disease occurring in a population, while prevalence refers to the total number of cases of a disease in a population at a given time. It is not possible for the incidence to increase while the prevalence decreases, as an increase in new cases would naturally lead to an increase in the total number of cases. Therefore, this statement is contradictory and not true.

      Reduce child mortality

    Correct Answer
    A. Achieve universal higher education
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Achieve universal higher education." This answer is not from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) because the MDGs focused on eradicating poverty and hunger, reducing child mortality, combating HIV and malaria, and developing a global partnership for development. While achieving universal higher education is an important goal, it was not specifically included in the MDGs.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    The disease that effects 40% of the poorest is:

    • A.

      HIV/AIDS

    • B.

      Malaria

    • C.

      Diabetes

    • D.

      Obesity

    • E.

      TB

    Correct Answer
    B. Malaria
    Explanation
    Malaria is the correct answer because it is a disease that disproportionately affects the poorest population. Malaria is prevalent in areas with poor sanitation and limited access to healthcare, which are conditions often found in impoverished communities. Additionally, poverty can increase the risk of malaria due to factors such as lack of mosquito control measures and inadequate housing. Therefore, it is likely that a significant percentage of the poorest population is affected by malaria.

      Reducing maternal mortality rates hasn't been fully achieved

    • B.

      Gender inequality still persist

    • C.

      Doctors without Borders is a result of one of the Goals

    • D.

      HIV incidence rates decreased 80%

    • E.

      The biggest improvement of universal primary education was in sub saharan Africa

    Correct Answer
    D. HIV incidence rates decreased 80%
    Explanation
    The statement "HIV incidence rates decreased 80%" is false because the MDGs did not specifically target HIV incidence rates. The MDGs focused on reducing poverty, improving education, and promoting gender equality, among other goals. While progress has been made in reducing HIV incidence rates globally, it cannot be attributed solely to the MDGs.

    The vitamin / mineral deficiency is most often linked to preventable mental retardation in children is:

    • A.

      Iodine deficiency

    • B.

      Ironic deficiency

    • C.

      B12 deficiency

    • D.

      Vitamin A deficiency

    • E.

      Zinc deficiency

    Correct Answer
    A. Iodine deficiency
    Explanation
    Iodine deficiency is most often linked to preventable mental retardation in children. Iodine is an essential mineral that is needed for the production of thyroid hormones, which are crucial for brain development and growth. When there is a deficiency of iodine, the thyroid gland cannot produce enough thyroid hormones, leading to impaired brain development and cognitive function. This condition is known as iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) and can result in irreversible mental retardation if not treated. Therefore, ensuring adequate iodine intake is crucial for preventing mental retardation in children.

    When a new better treatment for a disease has been discovered , the one that will happen from these is:

    • A.

      Prevalence will increase and incidence will decrease

    • B.

      Prevalence will decrease and incidence will decrease

    • C.

      Prevalence will decrease only

    • D.

      Incidence will decrease only

    • E.

      Non of above

    Correct Answer
    C. Prevalence will decrease only
    Explanation
    When a new better treatment for a disease has been discovered, the prevalence will decrease only. This is because the new treatment will be more effective in curing the disease, leading to a decrease in the number of people who currently have the disease. However, the incidence, which refers to the number of new cases of the disease, will not necessarily decrease. The new treatment may not prevent new cases from occurring, but it will reduce the number of people who continue to have the disease over time.

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    One of these are true regarding incidence and prevalence:

    • A.

      Both related to primary prevention

    • B.

      Prevalence is related to secondary prevention

    • C.

      Pandemic directly change both

    • D.

      Incidence has two type : point & period

    • E.

      Two of above

    Correct Answer
    B. Prevalence is related to secondary prevention
    Explanation
    Prevalence refers to the total number of cases of a specific disease or condition present in a population at a given time. It is related to secondary prevention because it focuses on the existing cases and measures taken to prevent the progression or recurrence of the disease. Secondary prevention includes interventions such as regular screenings, early detection, and treatment to reduce the impact of the disease on individuals and the population. Therefore, prevalence is a measure that helps in assessing the effectiveness of secondary prevention strategies.

    "A country with a low fertility rate and a low mortality rate but the fertility still higher than mortality" One of these is false about that country:

    • A.

      It's population pyramid is stationary

    • B.

      It's a developed country

    • C.

      It has a wide base in the population pyramid

    • D.

      It's at the 4th stage in the DTM

    • E.

      It's population is stabilized

    Correct Answer
    C. It has a wide base in the population pyramid
    Explanation
    A country with a low fertility rate and a low mortality rate but the fertility still higher than mortality cannot have a wide base in the population pyramid. A wide base in the population pyramid indicates a high birth rate and a large proportion of young individuals in the population. In this case, the low fertility rate contradicts the presence of a wide base in the population pyramid.

    The correct answer is "All of the above." This is because all the options mentioned in the question contribute to the skyrocketing healthcare costs. Technological developments such as MRIs and CAT scans require expensive equipment and maintenance, leading to increased costs. Demographic changes and refugee influx can strain healthcare systems, leading to higher expenses. Malpractice lawsuits can result in higher insurance premiums and legal fees, which are passed on to patients. Additionally, administrative costs, such as paperwork, billing, and compliance, also contribute to the overall healthcare costs.
