Relationship between environment quality and mortality in Czechoslovakia.

ABSTRACT

"Our paper concentrates on a regional analysis of the relationship between living environment and public health.... We utilized the collected data concerning the relationship between environment and public health and worked out an application of these data to be implemented in Czechoslovakia (CSFR)....Czechoslovakia's extremely disturbed areas usually correspond to regions with high mortality rates. However, the relationship between the two phenomena is not explicit because these ¿disrupted' areas also have different ethnic and social structures. The education standards of their populations are usually lower, in addition to other adverse characteristics which can be described as socio-pathological." (SUMMARY IN CZE)
