Demographic transitions explain population demographics by evaluating whether they are increasing or decreasing in number based on the balance between births and deaths and whether there are any migrations such as rural-to-urban. The Era of Infectious Diseases focuses on a high birth rate and high death rate. The Era of Chronic Long-Term Health Conditions is based on a low birth rate as people survived infections and aged with chronic conditions. The Era of Social Health Conditions is based on the neighborhood and personal lifestyle behaviors.
