Answer:

The impact that an aging population would have on the burden of disease in a still developing country are:

c. It would increase the share of accidents and injuries

d. It would increase the share of non-communicable disease

Step-by-step explanation:

Such non-communicable diseases (NCDs) include Parkinson's disease, autoimmune diseases, strokes, heart diseases, cancers, diabetes, chronic kidney diseases, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, and cataracts. Based on their health conditions, the aging population is prone to accidents and resultant injuries. The aging population is also prone to live the rest of their years in protracted illnesses, incurable injuries, and dying prematurely following untreated diseases.
