Population and health

Population and health ecology as subsystems of the health system are of special interest for public health. The population as a financer and beneficiary of health care determines various needs and possibilities of their realization. In order to establish solid socio-medical diagnosis of population, it is the key parameter, which is being realized through population statistics considering the number and distribution of population according to biological, socio-economic and cultural characteristics, as well as through vital and migration statistics. Health ecology as a subsystem represents the interest of public health from the aspect of monitoring of ecology expositions and the state of other contents of ecology and their impact on health. The establishment of sustainable development of human environment represents a philosophy, which is based on inter-generation equality meaning that present generation should give the future generation an environment in which is possible to live healthy life and realise any other progress. Population and health ecology are subsystems within which is necessary to seek needs that have to be met with the aim of improvement of population in terms of health.
