The Arctic regions are inhabited by diverse populations, both
indigenous and non-indigenous. Health Transitions in Arctic
Populations describes and explains changing health patterns in
these areas, how particular patterns came about, and what can be
done to improve the health of Arctic peoples.
This study correlates changes in health status with major
environmental, social, economic, and political changes in the
Arctic. T. Kue Young and Peter Bjerregaard seek commonalities in
the experiences of different peoples while recognizing their
considerable diversity. They focus on five Arctic regions -
Greenland, Northern Canada, Alaska, Arctic Russia, and Northern
Fennoscandia, offering a general overview of the geography,
history, economy, population characteristics, health status, and
health services of each. The discussion moves on to specific
indigenous populations (Inuit, Dene, and Sami), major health
determinants and outcomes, and, finally, an integrative examination
of what can be done to improve the health of circumpolar
peoples.
Health Transitions in Arctic Populations offers both an
examination of key health issues in the north and a vision for the
future of Arctic inhabitants.
