Detailed explanation-1: -What is an example of how a high human population density can affect that population’s health? The closer people are, the more likely they are to catch infectious diseases from each other. The population size is the number of individuals in a population.
Detailed explanation-2: -Problems tend to arise primarily when populations become so dense as to cause overcrowding. Overcrowding is often associated with decreases in quality of living conditions and sanitation, and hence the rate of agent transmission is typically very high in such areas.
Detailed explanation-3: -High population densities can lead to the accumulation of harmful waste products that kill individuals or impair reproduction, reducing the population’s growth.
