ISBN: 9780309263542 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. During the past century the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States have shifted from those related to communicable diseases to those due to chronic diseases. Just as the major causes of morbidity and mortality have changed, so too has the understanding of health and what makes people healthy or ill. Research has documented the importance of the social determinants of health (for example, socioeconomic status and education) that affect health directly as well as through their impact on other health determinants such as risk factors. Targeting interventions toward the... During the past century the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States have shifted from those related to communicable diseases t... |
