Description

Explore a groundbreaking study on the social factors driving life expectancy declines in industrialized societies. In this pioneering work, William C. Cockerham examines why life expectancy began to drop in the 1960s across several nations, including Russia, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, and East Germany. This book argues that these health trends are rooted in social issues rather than biomedical causes. Cockerham identifies poor policy decisions, high stress levels, and unhealthy diets as the primary drivers of this shift. By analyzing these regions, the text provides a deep look into how social structures impact public health outcomes. Beyond simple statistics, Cockerham presents a theory of postmodern social change that looks past traditional models. This is an essential resource for students and professionals in anthropology, sociology, and medical sciences who want to understand the connection between social policy and population health in Eastern Europe.
