Jak mierzymy zdrowie? Zarys historii i metody pomiaru

Abstract

There were very different methods of health measurement and kinds of indicators used through the years, but a key objective of these indicators usage was, and still is, an improvement of health state. The complex, reliable, clear and standard methods of health measurement are needed to plan and introduce effective actions in health care. Despite many years of work on the indicators of health, the measure meeting all these conditions has not been constructed yet. At the beginning health indicators were mainly related to population health and communicable diseases. Currently, after a period of “medicalization” of measurement, a growing emphasis placed on indicators supporting the public health can be observed. In this article the development process of health measurement was briefly presented and some health indicators were described.
