Population Health Statistics

Population health statistics is a branch of sanitary science that studies the levels and structure of morbidity and disability, as well as the state of physical development and reproduction of the population. It is an important tool for planning and assessing the effectiveness of health care, as well as for developing appropriate measures to improve the health of the population.

Morbidity and disability rates are indicators that reflect the prevalence of disease and the level of activity limitation caused by physical or mental health problems. Morbidity and disability statistics make it possible to assess the health of the population as a whole, identify the most common diseases and assess their dynamics.

The structure of morbidity and disability is the distribution of diseases and health disorders by age, gender and other social characteristics of the population. This information allows us to identify populations with the greatest need for health care and develop appropriate prevention and treatment programs.

The state of physical development and reproduction of the population are indicators that reflect the level of health of children and women during pregnancy and childbirth. Statistics on physical development and reproduction of the population make it possible to assess the effectiveness of programs to reduce maternal and child mortality, as well as identify problems associated with inadequate nutrition and the health of mothers and newborns.

It is important to note that high-quality and objective data sources are necessary to obtain reliable statistical information. Therefore, in modern conditions, electronic health systems are becoming increasingly important, which allow automating the collection and analysis of medical information, thereby increasing the accuracy and reliability of statistical data.

In general, population health statistics are an important tool for assessing population health, planning and evaluating the effectiveness of health care, and developing appropriate measures to improve population health.

Population health statistics

**Population health statistics** - section of sanitary C, studying the level and structure of prevalence and morbidity of the population, as well as the state of physical health, gender and age structure, availability of medical personnel, equipment of places of stay, nutrition, water supply. It is one of the most important components of the scientific base in the development of government management decisions in the field of healthcare.

When studying morbidity, specific nosological forms of diseases are identified. The first subsection covers general morbidity indicators for the country as a whole - the overall prevalence rate, prevalence, mortality. The second subsection analyzes the population according to a number of criteria - age, professional, urban, gender, the nature of the distribution of diseases over time and their dependence on specific living conditions. Here, morbidity levels in different territories according to the number of patients are studied and compared. Regional features of sanitary and epidemiological well-being are highlighted. The likelihood of contact of the population with sources of infections is revealed and, mainly, the incidence of influenza is studied. The presence of outbreaks of infectious diseases is also analyzed; dynamics
