It covers health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE), food miles, and transnational corporations, then focuses on assessing variations in health since 1950. Learners evaluate life expectancy, infant and child mortality, calorie intake, safe water access, and health services, and compare prevention versus treatment priorities. It also specifies detailed case studies and development goals references.","Geography IB Course IB2: Geography of food and health  \ndr Robert Łuczak  \n1  \nGeography of food and health – Syllabus  \nDefinitions:  \n• Food miles -a measure of the distance that food travels from its source to the consumer. This can be given either in units of actual distance or of energy consumed during transport  \n• HALE-Health-adjusted life expectancy, based on life expectancy at birth but including an adjustment for time spent in poor health (due to disease and/or injury) . It is the equivalent number of years in full health that a newborn can expect to live, based on current rates of health and mortality  \n• Transnational corporation (TNC) – a firm that owns or controls productive operations in more than one country through foreign direct investment  \n• + detailed case studies  \nThe underlying concept:  \n• The health of a population is the direct consequence of having enough food, a balanced diet and reduced susceptibility to disea e.  \nTasks:  \nHealth – Syllabus  \nVariations in health  \n• Describe the variations in health as reflected by changes in life expectancy at national and global scales since 1950  \n• Explain the patterns and trends in terms of differences in income and lifestyle  \nMeasuring health  \n• Evaluate life expectancy, infant mortality rate (IMR) and child mortality (CMR), HALE (health-adjusted life expectancy), calorie intake, access to safe water and access to health services as indicators of health  \n• Prevention relative to treatment  \n• Discuss the geographic factors that determine the relative emphasis placed by policy-makers, in one country or region, on prevention as opposed to treatment of disease 3  \nQuick reminder from Core  \n• Infant Mortality Rate?  \n• Child Mortality Rate?  \n• Life Expectancy?  \n1  \n4  \nPopulation growth measurements / statistics  \n• Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) – the number of deaths of infants (children less than one year old) per 1,000 live births in a year  \n• Current (2015) IMR is 31.7 deaths / 1,000 live births  \n• Max: Angola (96), Central African Republic (92), Sierra Leone (87),  \nChad (85), Somalia (85), DRC (75)  \n• Min: Luxembourg, Iceland, Finland, Norway, Japan, Slovenia, Singapore (2); EU (4)  \n•  [http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.

It's likely that life expectancy of the most developed countries will slowly advance and then reach a peak in the range of the mid-80s of age .  \n• In 1900 the world life expectancy was approximately 30 years, in 1960 – 52.5, in 1990 – 65.4 and currently it is 71.9  \n• The differences between regions and countries are quite severe  \n•  [http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.
