Abstract

Research background: Following a rational health policy by the state is tantamount to having knowledge of society’s health status and health affecting factors. It has become particularly important to focus on the 21st century diseases resulting in premature deaths. That objective dominated the 2016 Act on Public Health and the 2016–2020 National Health Programme connected with it.
