India's population may soon exceed China's, bureau savs
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — India could surpass China as the world's most populous nation in the notto-distant future, the Census Bureau said.
China has been the world's most heavily populated nation, currently containing one in five of the Earth's people.
But, "the time is now forseeable when India will take over the number one spot, reflecting a population growth rate that is nearly twice as
"The latest projections suggest that India's population may surpass China's in less than 60 years, or before today's youngsters in both countries are old enough to be included in its new 'World Population Profile': 1987."
high as China's," the bureau reported yesterday.
The bureau estimates that China currently contains 1,088,169,000 people, compared with India's 816,828,000.
But India has a birth rate of 32 per 1,000
people, compared with just 20 per 1,000 in China, which has conducted an intensive campaign to reduce births in recent years. Subtracting deaths, India's population is growing at 2.1 percent annually, China's by only 1.3 percent, the bureau reported.
Thus, population projections for the year 2050 show India as the world's most populated country, with an anticipated 1,591,204,000 people. At the same time, China would have a population of 1,554,875,000.
Sharp changes are expected in other nations too, the report says.
The Soviet Union, currently ranked third in population, is expected to drop to No. 5 by the year 2050. Fourth place United States would slip to eighth, while Indonesia, currently fifth, would drop to seventh.
Nigeria, ranked 13th, is expected to replace the Soviet Union as third. Pakistan, now No. 14, is expected to rise to fourth by 2050.

Quick and Easy cholesterol testing for Students.
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance found in the blood stream. Your body uses cholesterol to make essential body substances such as cell walls and hormones. But too much cholesterol can fill up arteries and obstruct the flow of blood to vital organs causing 'strokes' and/or heart attacks.'
The body has two sources of cholesterol:
1) Cholesterol produced within the liver. This source would manufacture enough for your body's needs even if you did not eat from animal food sources.
2) Dietary cholesterol found only in animal food sources*

The American Heart Association recommends that adults take in only 300 mg. cholesterol daily. This can be accomplished by eliminating the foods high in cholesterol and encouraging poultry and other lean meats, fish, fresh fruits, and vegetables, grains, and cereals, and low-fat dairy products.
It's not too early for you to have a cholesterol level test done. Especially if there is a history of heart disease in your family.
Watkins Memorial Hospital/Student Health Services is sponsoring a special walk-in clinic for cholesterol testing this week. Students can show their ID card and get a quick and easy test. Results will be mailed. The test is covered by the health fee — no additional charge.
*This is only a partial test. For more information, come by the Department of Health Education at Watkins Hospital.
