Summary/Abstract: A state's economic development has always been based on its citizens' health. Health contributes significantly to economic development, influences the economy, and is influenced by the economy. On the one hand, a country's economy is influenced by its population's health due to a lack of labor, early retirement, and demand for the medical system while on the other hand the economy is influenced by the population's health due to a lack of prevention measures. This study aims to highlight both the impact of health on the economy and the impact of the economy on health through qualitative and quantitative analysis. We intend to focus on Romania's status in terms of cardiovascular disease costs and the determinants of these diseases (the economic impact of health), as well as the economic impact of health on the economy through prevention programs. The research focuses on cardiovascular disease, which affects a large percentage of the population and is one of the primary causes of death.
