Beginning in the late nineteenth century\u2014for reasons that are not clearly understood\u2014infectious diseases began to decline as the major causes of mortality. The reduction in mortality among the young permitted more people to reach adulthood and thus to live longer. Under these circumstances it is not surprising that long-duration illnesses\u2014notably, cardiovascular-renal diseases and a variety of neoplasms\u2014became more prominent elements in morbidity and mortality patterns. These diseases were associated with advancing age; the longer  individuals lived, the greater the risk of becoming ill or dying from them. In one sense the increasing prominence of long-duration (or chronic) diseases as in part a reflection of the fact that more and more people were enjoying greater longevity.<\/p>\n<p>* During the latter half of the twentieth century, however, a dramatic perceptual transformation took place. Nowhere was this better expressed than in the constitution of the World Health Organization, promulgated in 1946 and ratified in 1948. \u201cHealth,\u201d the constitution stated in its declaration of principles, \u201cis a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.\u201d Such a definition implied new roles for the medical profession. The care and treatment of the sick and infirm remained part of the physician\u2019s responsibility. But to this were added the functions of making people healthy, happy, and socially adjusted.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>00:00 Only Fans bans porn, https:\/\/www.outsidethebeltway.com\/porn-site-onlyfans-bans-porn\/ 03:00 The Children of Pornhub, https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/12\/04\/opinion\/sunday\/pornhub-rape-trafficking.html 04:00 Why Do We Let Corporations Profit From Rape Videos?, https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/04\/16\/opinion\/sunday\/companies-online-rape-videos.html 08:30 Israel, Once the Model for Beating Covid, Faces New Surge of Infections, https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/08\/18\/world\/middleeast\/israel-virus-infections-booster.html 14:45 DSM: A &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/?p=141799\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[220],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-141799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=141799"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141799\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":141800,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141799\/revisions\/141800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=141799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=141799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=141799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
