All of the following is true about population pyramids EXCEPT:
Correct Answer
B. It reflects the extent of the development of the country .
Explanation
Population pyramids primarily depict the age and gender distribution within a population and how it changes over time. While they can indirectly reflect aspects of development such as healthcare, education, and economic opportunities, they do not directly quantify the extent of development in a country. Development indicators typically involve more comprehensive measures beyond demographic profiles.

All of the following is false about the information in the reading of population pyramid EXCEPT:
Correct Answer
D. Each year a new cohort is born and added to the bottom of the pyramids , while the older cohorts move up .
Explanation
The correct answer is "each year a new cohort is born and added to the bottom of the pyramids, while the older cohorts move up." This statement is true about the information in the reading of population pyramid. The population pyramid represents the number of males and females in each age group by the length of the vertical axis, and it narrows with the gain of members due to birth. Additionally, both male and female populations are plotted on the same side. Therefore, the statement that is false is that each year a new cohort is born and added to the bottom of the pyramids, while the older cohorts move up.
4.
One of the following is false regarding the constrictive pyramids :
Correct Answer
B. Population growth is rapid
Explanation
The given answer states that population growth is rapid, which is false regarding constrictive pyramids. Constrictive pyramids indicate a declining population, with a smaller number of younger individuals compared to older individuals. This suggests a low birth rate and slower population growth. Therefore, the statement that population growth is rapid is incorrect.
5.
Public health focused on all of the following EXCEPT :
Correct Answer
C. Treatment of the individual
Explanation
Public health is a field that aims to improve the overall health and well-being of a population. It focuses on various aspects such as disease control, nutrition, health promotion, and prevention. However, the treatment of the individual is not a primary focus of public health. While public health interventions may indirectly benefit individuals, the main goal is to address health issues at a population level rather than providing individual medical treatment.

Ischemic heart disease is the correct answer because it is the only leading cause of death in Jordan that is not increasing with time. The other causes, including hypertensive heart disease, road injury, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes, may be increasing in prevalence or contributing to a higher mortality rate over time. However, ischemic heart disease remains stable or possibly decreasing in terms of its impact on mortality in Jordan.
9.
When you want to know how many people died from cancer disease from all people have suffered from cancer , which formula you use to calculate ?
Correct Answer
B. Case fatality
Explanation
Case fatality is the appropriate formula to calculate the number of people who died from a specific disease, in this case, cancer, out of all the people who have suffered from cancer. It provides a measure of the severity of the disease and the likelihood of death once diagnosed with cancer. Crude rate refers to the overall death rate from a specific cause in a population, cause-specific rate focuses on the death rate from a specific cause within a population, and proportionate mortality ratio (PMR) compares the proportion of deaths from a specific cause to all deaths in a population. However, case fatality specifically addresses the number of deaths among those who have the disease.
10.

However, defensive medicine refers to the practice of medical professionals ordering unnecessary tests or procedures to protect themselves from potential lawsuits, which does not directly influence life expectancy.
12.
in Youth bulge :
Correct Answer
A. Reducing infant mortality , but mother still have high birth rate
Explanation
The correct answer is "Reducing infant mortality, but mothers still have a high birth rate." This answer suggests that in a youth bulge, infant mortality rates have decreased, meaning fewer infants are dying at a young age. However, mothers still have a high birth rate, resulting in a larger population of young people. This can lead to various social and economic challenges for a country.

C. Large proportion of the population is comprised of children and young adults
Explanation
The correct answer is "large proportion of the population is comprised of children and young adults." The term "youth bulge" refers to a situation where there is a significant increase in the proportion of young people in a population. This can occur due to factors such as high birth rates or reduced mortality rates among children. The presence of a youth bulge can have various social, economic, and political implications for a country.
17.
All of these statements are FALSE EXCEPT:
Correct Answer
D. Defensive medicine is one of the reasons of why have the health care costs skyrocketed
Explanation
The given answer is correct because it states that defensive medicine is not one of the reasons why healthcare costs have skyrocketed. Defensive medicine refers to medical practices that are primarily driven by the desire to avoid lawsuits rather than providing the best care for the patient. While defensive medicine may contribute to healthcare costs, it is not the main reason for the drastic increase in costs. Factors such as technological advancements, administrative costs, and the aging population are more significant drivers of rising healthcare costs.

This highlights the importance of promoting healthier lifestyles and behaviors to reduce the burden of disease in these countries.
25.
One of these is NOT TRUE about NCDs :
Correct Answer
B. Their incidence is increasing but their prevalence is decreasing
Explanation
The given statement is not true because it states that the incidence of NCDs is increasing but their prevalence is decreasing. However, incidence refers to the number of new cases of a disease occurring in a population, while prevalence refers to the total number of cases of a disease in a population at a given time. It is not possible for the incidence to increase while the prevalence decreases, as an increase in new cases would naturally lead to an increase in the total number of cases. Therefore, this statement is contradictory and not true.
26.
One of these is NOT leading cause of death in children under 5 :
Correct Answer
D. Hypertension
Explanation
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is not a leading cause of death in children under 5. While hypertension is a significant health concern in adults, it is rare for young children to develop this condition. The other options listed (pneumonia, malaria, diarrhea, and sepsis) are all leading causes of death in children under 5, particularly in developing countries where access to healthcare and preventive measures may be limited.
27.
One of these is NOT from the MDGs:
Correct Answer
A. Achieve universal higher education
Explanation
The correct answer is "Achieve universal higher education." This answer is not from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) because the MDGs focused on eradicating poverty and hunger, reducing child mortality, combating HIV and malaria, and developing a global partnership for development. While achieving universal higher education is an important goal, it was not specifically included in the MDGs.
28.
The disease that effects 40% of the poorest is:
Correct Answer
B. Malaria
Explanation
Malaria is the correct answer because it is a disease that disproportionately affects the poorest population. Malaria is prevalent in areas with poor sanitation and limited access to healthcare, which are conditions often found in impoverished communities. Additionally, poverty can increase the risk of malaria due to factors such as lack of mosquito control measures and inadequate housing. Therefore, it is likely that a significant percentage of the poorest population is affected by malaria.

This means that efforts and measures have been implemented successfully to reduce poverty by the target percentage. It indicates progress in eradicating extreme hunger and poverty, showing that significant strides have been made in improving the living conditions of the impoverished population.
30.
One of these statements is FALSE regarding MDGs:
Correct Answer
D. HIV incidence rates decreased 80%
Explanation
The statement "HIV incidence rates decreased 80%" is false because the MDGs did not specifically target HIV incidence rates. The MDGs focused on reducing poverty, improving education, and promoting gender equality, among other goals. While progress has been made in reducing HIV incidence rates globally, it cannot be attributed solely to the MDGs.

33.
The vitamin / mineral deficiency is most often linked to preventable mental retardation in children is:
Correct Answer
A. Iodine deficiency
Explanation
Iodine deficiency is most often linked to preventable mental retardation in children. Iodine is an essential mineral that is needed for the production of thyroid hormones, which are crucial for brain development and growth. When there is a deficiency of iodine, the thyroid gland cannot produce enough thyroid hormones, leading to impaired brain development and cognitive function. This condition is known as iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) and can result in irreversible mental retardation if not treated. Therefore, ensuring adequate iodine intake is crucial for preventing mental retardation in children.
34.
When a new better treatment for a disease has been discovered , the one that will happen from these is:
Correct Answer
C. Prevalence will decrease only
Explanation
When a new better treatment for a disease has been discovered, the prevalence will decrease only. This is because the new treatment will be more effective in curing the disease, leading to a decrease in the number of people who currently have the disease. However, the incidence, which refers to the number of new cases of the disease, will not necessarily decrease. The new treatment may not prevent new cases from occurring, but it will reduce the number of people who continue to have the disease over time.
35.
One of these are true regarding incidence and prevalence:
Correct Answer
B. Prevalence is related to secondary prevention
Explanation
Prevalence refers to the total number of cases of a specific disease or condition present in a population at a given time. It is related to secondary prevention because it focuses on the existing cases and measures taken to prevent the progression or recurrence of the disease. Secondary prevention includes interventions such as regular screenings, early detection, and treatment to reduce the impact of the disease on individuals and the population. Therefore, prevalence is a measure that helps in assessing the effectiveness of secondary prevention strategies.
36.
"A country with a low fertility rate and a low mortality rate but the fertility still higher than mortality" One of these is false about that country:
Correct Answer
C. It has a wide base in the population pyramid
Explanation
A country with a low fertility rate and a low mortality rate but the fertility still higher than mortality cannot have a wide base in the population pyramid. A wide base in the population pyramid indicates a high birth rate and a large proportion of young individuals in the population. In this case, the low fertility rate contradicts the presence of a wide base in the population pyramid.
37.
