The last 30 years have seen vast changes in the size and composition of the Jewish and Arab populations of Israel. The Jewish population has increased 4 1/2 times but the proportion of aged has increased 10-fold. Infant mortality has decreased considerably and life expectancy has increased for both sexes and both populations. Patterns of morbidity and mortality have changed from those characteristic of the Middle East to those commonly seen in developed countries, with ischemic heart disease, cancer and stroke the leading causes of death.
过去30年里，以色列犹太人和阿拉伯人的人口规模及构成发生了巨大变化。犹太人口增长了4.5倍，但老年人的比例增长了10倍。婴儿死亡率大幅下降，两个群体的男女预期寿命均有所增加。发病率和死亡率模式已从中东地区特有的模式转变为发达国家常见的模式，缺血性心脏病、癌症和中风成为主要死因。
