[Estimation of morbidity rates in relation to living conditions]
Abstract:
The scientific and practical evaluation of the cumulative influence of environmental factors on human health presents certain difficulties as the establishment of the level of individual health is methodologically inadequately developed. By employing the clinical studies only, the existing prophylactic medical examination system enables one to detect only the early signs of diseases. Estimating the level of human health should be complemented with criteria for prenosological diagnosis along with the assessment of individual living conditions to enhance the objectivity of determining the population's health status and to elaborate hygienically founded prophylactic measures.
