Abstract:
The classic risk factors for developing coronary heart disease (CHD) explain less than 50% of the decrease in mortality observed since 1950. The transition currently under way, from the degenerative to the infectious-inflammatory paradigm, requires a new causal interpretation of temporal trends. The following is an ecological study based on data from the United States showing that in men and women an association between the age distribution of mortality due to influenza and pneumonia (I&P) associated with the influenza pandemic in 1918-1919 in the 10-49-year age bracket and the distributio

Abstract:
Whites rather than colored people were attacked by the pandemic of influenza and the young rather than the old, a reversal of usual conditions. These conclusions are based on the accurate figures obtainable from nearly 18,000,000 policies in force and 105,552 claims. The following is a brief statement of some of the basic findings of an investigation which has been made into the epidemic of influenza. It is limited to the policyholders of the Industrial Department of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and covers the period from October 1, 1918 to June 30, 1919. It should be noted in this

Abstract:
During most of the twentieth century, cardiovascular mortality increased in the United States while other causes of death declined. By 1958, the age-standardized death rate (ASDR) for cardiovascular causes for females was 1.84 times that for all other causes,combined(and, for males, 1.79×). Although contemporary observers believed that cardiovascular mortality would remain high, the late 1950s and early 1960s turned out to be the peak of a roughly 70-year epidemic. By 1988 for females (1986 for males), a spectacular decline had occurred, wherein the ASDR for cardiovascular causes was less than

Abstract:
There is still limited understanding of key determinants of spatial spread of influenza. The 1918 pandemic provides an opportunity to elucidate spatial determinants of spread on a large scale. To better characterize the spread of the 1918 major wave, we fitted a range of city-to-city transmission models to mortality data collected for 246 population centres in England and Wales and 47 cities in the US. Using a gravity model for city-to-city contacts, we explored the effect of population size and distance on the spread of disease and tested assumptions regarding density dependence in connectivi

Abstract:
After three years of global rampage, the COVID-19 epidemic, the most serious infectious disease to occur worldwide since the 1918 influenza pandemic, is nearing its end. From the global experience, medical control and social control are the two main dimensions in the prevention and control of COVID-19. From the perspective of “two types of control”, namely medical control and social control, this paper finds that the political system, economic structure, and cultural values of the United States greatly limit the government’s ability to impose social control, forcing it to adopt medical control

Abstract:
Throughout global history, various infectious diseases have emerged as particularly relevant within an era. Some examples include the Bubonic plague of the fourteenth century, the Spanish Influenza pandemic of 1918, the HIV epidemic of the 1980s, and the Zika virus outbreak in 2015–16. These instances of emerging infectious disease represent ideal opportunities for timely, relevant instruction in natural and health science courses through case studies. Such instructional approaches can promote student engagement in the material and encourage application and higher-order thinking. We describe h

Abstract:
During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, many state governors faced an increasing number of acts of defiance as well as political and legal challenges to their public health emergency orders. Less well studied are the similar acts of protest that occurred during the 1918–1919 influenza pandemic, when residents, business owners, clergy, and even local politicians grew increasingly restless by the ongoing public health measures, defied public health edicts, and agitated to have them rescinded.

Abstract:
During epidemics, the poorest part of the population usually suffers the most. Alfred Crosby noted that the norm changed during the 1918 influenza pandemic in the US: The black population (which were expected to have higher influenza morbidity and mortality) had lower morbidity and mortality than the white population during the autumn of 1918. Crosby’s explanation for this was that black people were more exposed to a mild spring/summer wave of influenza earlier that same year. In this paper, we review the literature from the pandemic of 1918 to better understand the crossover in the role of ra

Abstract The sudden appearance of the AIDS epidemic in our midst demonstrates once again that infectious diseases can still be important causes of illness and death. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus, the AIDS virus) has been front-page news for so long that it is hard to remember that it first came to our notice just overadecade ago. Influenza, oneofour most familiar viruses, still periodically causes massive epidemics (the most massive are called pandemics because the entire world is usually affected), and another influenza pandemic is virtually inevitable.

This chapter offers perspectives on the recurring cycle of reflecting on, recording and remembering medical histories of the 1918–19 influenza epidemic in the United States, from the period of that epidemic itself to epidemics, pandemics and the pervasive digital character of the early twenty-first century. It reveals the processes and implications of these cycles, arguing that key factors in their continuation—lest they be broken—are the very acts of consistently, deliberately and responsibly archiving and preserving primary sources of memory—and memory itself—and, above all, valuing it as pa

This chapter explores the process by which Americans actively forgot the 1918 influenza epidemic by investigating the traces of memory evident in American public culture. The epidemic in the United States was, until the advent of COVID-19, understood by many historians as the nation’s ‘forgotten pandemic’. Such a notion, though, fails to recognise that Americans who had suffered illness or loss during the crisis retained vivid private memories of their experiences. The nation’s public amnesia, then, required the active process of what Guy Beiner terms ‘social forgetting’. The media, much of wh

Surprisingly, little attention has been paid in the scientific and historical literature to the 1918–19 influenza pandemic in East Asia, particularly in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). This chapter reconsiders the place of China in the history of the pandemic, drawing comparisons between the PRC and the United States, where despite claims that it is the ‘forgotten pandemic’, the science and epidemiology of the 1918–19 Flu have long informed debates about disease surveillance and pandemic preparedness. The chapter examines the evidence for the pandemic in China and the challenges posed to
