Tóm tắt :

iv, 198 p. The second issue of Public Health in Europe is devoted to chronic diseases. One of the long-term programmes of the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe is concerned with the development of a control programme in the field of cardiovascular diseases, and several years’ experience in the 18 countries where special ischaemic heart disease registers are established has shown that cooperation and coordination in this field are of great importance in developing the most effective methods of control. Particular attention is given to prevention and rehabilitation, and to the cost of cardiovascular diseases to the community. Another of the main diseases in the European Region, cancer, is also considered in this issue. Trends in European cancer control during the 1960s are analysed, from the time when the Regional Committee for Europe, meeting at Luxembourg in 1961, discussed cancer control as a public health problem to the present, showing that the countries of the Region have made considerable progress in further developing their own control programmes. Epidemiological studies and mass screening for the early detection and prevention of cancer are also analysed. Two other chronic diseases are discussed: endemic nephropathy, which has a peculiar distribution in the European Region, especially in the Balkan countries, and trachoma, together with related matters of public health ophthalmology.
