SOCIOLOŠKI ASPEKTI ZDRAVLJA I BOLESTI
SOCIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF HEALTH AND SICKNESS

Summary/Abstract: There is no idea of sickness and health which would be the same for all people. Different ways of understanding sickness and health are directly connected with conditions and relationships in a society, and with the type of behaviour of a group or an individual. Sociological researches of sickness and health deal with social factors which can cause, and have a bad influence on the course and result of various diseases. The aim of observing social conditions is to discover conditions of human life which could improve health and prevent a disease. A typical problem for sociological research is the influence of life-style, sex, age, race, economic and socio-cultural status on health and sickness. The basic aim of such research is to make the results accessible to people, regardless of their social status.
