VÝZNAM ONEMOCNĚNÍ LIDÍ A ZVÍŘAT PŘI ROZVOJI REGIONŮ

Ivo Pavlík, Dana Hübelová, Miroslav Horák, Kristina Somerlíková

Regional development is determined by many factors, which are currently being studied from many different perspectives. One of the most important key indicators is the health of human population influenced by social, economic and environmental factors. Nevertheless, the single factors existing within the individual and the society, making the emergence if diseases in different ways play a central role in the population health in this region, either alone or more often in a number of combinations. This book deals not only with infectious agents of various diseases, but also with non-infectious diseases. Its occurrence in the population is very often recorded only in case of an increasing negative effect on different parts of the development. Inappropriate lifestyle, diet, workload in unsuitable conditions, contaminated environments and other factors can significantly affect disease incidence of certain groups or in certain parts of regions or even entire regions. In developing countries a significant role is played by folk healers and shamans as the health care system lacks the adequate health coverage, where is no publicly funded health care system. The introduction of various preventive measures and integration into coordinated action should be taken into account as well. In developed countries there appears to be a new risk phenomenon in eating habits, a change in eating pointing to consume a minimum of heat-treated foodstuffs, or even raw food. But in fact, ecological changes associated with both intensive and extensive farming, deforestation in tropical and subtropical areas, expanding uncoordinated urbanization in developing countries and return to country living in developed countries are bringing new, often hitherto unknown risks. The submitted work is trying to look at the existing or new risks presented through the prism of experts dealing with both infectious and non-infectious diseases, anthropology and risks of different leisure activities. The main goal is not to enumerate all nosological units of diseases and disease risk of their creation, but looking at the presentation of regional development through factors affecting the health of their inhabitants.
