The Asia-Pacific region has seen great social, environmental and
economic change across the past century, with great acceleration of
change in the last 20 years, leading to dramatic changes in the
health profiles of all populations represented in South East and
East Asia, Pacific Islands and the islands of Melanesia. This
volume considers recent evidence concerning prehistoric migration,
and colonial, regional and global processes in the production of
health change in the Asia-Pacific region. Notably, it examines ways
in which a health pattern dominated by under-nutrition and
infection has been displaced in many ways, and is being displaced
elsewhere by over-nutrition and the degenerative diseases
associated with it. This book presents a cohesive view of the ways
in which exchange relationships, economic modernisation, migration
and transnational linkages interact with changing rural subsistence
ecologies to influence health patterns in this region.
