ASPECTS REGARDING THE HEALTH STATUS OF SIBIU COUNTY ACTIVE POPULATION.

In the conditions of population aging registered in our country, both by declining birth rates and increasing life expectancy, the active population aged between 15 and 64 years old recorded a downward trend. According to a survey by Eurostat, in 2060, almost 65% of the people over 15 will be at retirement. The health of the population reflected by morbidity and mortality indicators has a great significance on the active population, personal welfare and last but not least on the national economy. Active population morbidity and the impact of illness on labour temporary disability are dominated by respiratory diseases, tumours, diseases of bones and joints, muscles and connective tissue, injuries and poisonings. Mortality indicators reflect somewhat the morbidity indicators regarding causality, except for specific mortality by cardiovascular diseases, which occupies the first rank in the specific mortality, with a rate of 152.85% 000 inhabitants and male predominance (225.74% 000 inhabitants).
