Abstract:
In the paper we describe the main problems of the Polish population health status and their trends in the past years. A meaningful improvement in several health parameters can be noticed in Poland since 1991. In the year 2000 life expectancy was 69.7 and 78.0 for males and females respectively--an increase by 3.6 and 2.7 years in comparison with 1991 values. There have been declining trends in cardiovascular mortality, cancer mortality (more often in younger age groups), infant mortality, incidence of infectious diseases. Mental health problems are the growing issue. It has been stressed that the pace of progress is far too slow to achieve the level of health indicators in EU countries in the not too distant future.
