One objection to the concept of Western diseases is that it's demographic - that we see so much chronic disease in the West because they are old-age related, whereas in other parts of the world people die younger from infectious diseases. True or false?

True

Explanation:

Chronic disease in the West is old-age related because "population aging" is common among places that are highly-industrialized. Due to more advanced technology and convenient lifestyles, people in the West become sedentary than those living in other parts of the world. Such sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits lead to serious chronic diseases, especially among older people.

Nevertheless, when it comes to "infectious diseases," the West doesn't seem to suffer from it. This is more common among developing countries because of lack of health knowledge, poverty, limited access to potable water, poor education, etc.
