[Morbidity, in its simplest term, refers to the level of sickness and disability characterizing a population. Demographers traditionally have focused on the impact of mortality (the end result of morbidity) on populations, and only in recent years has the emphasis shifted more in the direction of morbidity as morbidity has come to play a greater role in shaping demographic characteristics.]
