“…Thus, the occurrence of deaths depends on the organ that first reaches insufficient levels of capacity”; “these states of component failure might be identified with major chronic degenerative diseases”; “effective prevention or treatment of an individual component failure can postpone death of the organism. Since many diseases share the same risk factors, reduction in disease progression rate within one component might also slow down disease progression within another component”; “every individual experience his own risk of dying, constituting a heterogeneity and selective mortality process that is concealed in average population indicators” [ 8 , 13 , 14 ]. …”

In this study we aim to highlight the spatial differences, intensity and frequency of causes of death associated with a range of diseases and the implications of the socio-economic impact on healthcare worldwide between 1990 and 2017: (1) Background: At the same time, an attempt was made to find regional spatial patterns that may be typical for a given geographical area, based on the assumption that global health care is in a permanent state of uncertainty as developed countries have a different morbidity profile than emerging or developing countries. (2) Methods: Using information provided by Global Burden of Disease Collaborative Network, Our World in Data and the World Bank, a multidimensional analysis was carried out, comprising four types of statistical models: grouping analysis, principal component analysis (PCA) Bravais–Pearson linear correlation and multivariate regression. (3) Results: The results confirm the hypothesis of significant correlations between the frequency of causes of death, quality of health care and quality of public health infrastructure, validated by incidence with socio-economic indicators. The study contributes to the literature by analysing trends in the spatial distribution of causes of death worldwide, detecting regional differentiations and testing how socio-economic factors may limit the incidence of morbidity.

“…The very old subjects increase at a very fast rate (the fastest growing minority), and although the age-specific prevalence and the duration of lifetime disability appear to decline in newer cohorts, e.g. in France and the United States 5 , the absolute numbers of functionally impaired elderly will become larger as the population size of the oldest old expands rapidly 6 . Body composition differs in the younger elderly compared to young adults and the older elderly 7 .…”

Physical activity and nutrient intake are important determinants of health throughout life. Many of the alterations in physiological structure and function that occur with age may result from disuse and disability as well as from diets deficient in energy, protein or other specific nutrients. Although a healthy diet can provide significant health benefits, diet alone, is not sufficient to provide optimal health, nor protect us from the hazards of sedentary habits. Nor is physical activity alone. The ideal combines sufficient exercise and a healthy diet.
