Thông tin chi tiết
Tóm tắt : | Most of the countries of the European Region have completed the mortality transition and the profile of ill health is dominated by the chronic diseases. To combat them the WHO regional strategy focuses on promoting lifestyles conducive to health, reducing preventable conditions and reorienting the health care system to better serve the needs of the entire population. The risks of suffering ill health are closely related to such demographic characteristics as age, sex, social class and place of residence. To implement the strategy therefore it is vital to understand the demographic trends in the Region and anticipate the changing health needs they may entail. Part I of this book is an overview of the demographic trends that emerged from 14 specially prepared country reports. Part II is an analysis of the trends in family formation, fertility and mortality. Part III looks at how these changes will affect three broad age groups, the young, the middle-aged and the old. With more people of all ages living alone, the role of the health services will have to be much more broad-based and involve social and political institutions as well. Many of the changes that will have to come are discussed in this book and it is clear that they will require an interdisciplinary approach from demographers, epidemiologists, health planners and others concerned with population change and its consequences. viii, 188 p. |
