Abstract
According to the epidemiologic transition theory the third and final stage of the evolution of mortality and morbidity patterns consists of degenerative and man-made diseases. It has been proposed that there is yet another stage of the epidemiologic transition the fourth stage which is remarkably different from the third.

The implications for public health planning are discussed. (SUMMARY IN FRE) (EXCERPT)
