The Asia-Pacific region has seen great social, environmental and
economic change across the past century, 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 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 modernization,
migration and transnational linkages interact with changing rural
subsistence ecologies to influence health patterns in this region.
