Question

In Africa, AIDS takes its toll on the population, but deaths occur most frequently in the 20-40 age group. Show a survivorship curve that would illustrate this pattern.

Answer 1

Answer:

Now in African region the Young women are especially at risk. As there are around 6,200 new infections each week among young people aged 15-24 occurring among this group.

In the sub-Saharan Africa, four in five new infections are among girls aged 15–19 years and young women aged 15–24 years are twice as likely to be living with HIV as men.

Almost one million die from HIV/AIDS each year – in some countries it’s the leading cause of death.

The HIV epidemic had a major impact on life expectancy across Sub-Saharan Africa, and life expectancy is only now back to pre-epidemic levels

Explanation:

Death occurrence in 20-40 age group:

Mostly people in there 20's and 40's are effected the most just because they are more active in different physical activities (sexual interactions etc). In Africa most of the population is under privileged and they work in the fields along with that they don't have any hygienic way to live. As people living the region don't get the chance to treat themselves well and control the virus. People don't have enough rest and medical facility to recover themselves well.  As people in the that age gap are involved in going out of home to earn a bread for themselves, as they make more interaction with other individuals and have more chance

So there are two main graphs which has the required data to show the life expectancy of the affected people in Africa.
