As an international organization the European Union pursues a range of purposes including improvement of public health, prevention of human illness and diseases as well as elimination of the sources of danger to physical and mental health. To enable effective health policies supporting actions of the member states, the data and materials which are fundamental to public health assessments are collected at the Community level. They underpin a variety of analyses necessary to evaluate changes in medical systems and determine the degree of similarity between the EU member states. This article analyses public health in Poland in relation to selected European countries. The study is based on the medical, economic and social indicators available from the EUROSTAT database. The taxonomic methods used in the study allowed ranking the sampled countries and identifying those with the highest level of public health. A more detailed assessment was based on the general presentation of health care systems in each country. In addition to Poland, the other post-socialist countries in the sample are Bulgaria, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovenia, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Importantly, the study covers the years 2004-2009, after most of the countries joined the European Union. The reason why other former Eastern bloc countries were omitted from the study was the unavailability of appropriate data in the EUROSTAT database. The paper discusses a group of developed European countries too. However, because the complicated historical past of the post-socialist countries and the socio-economic difficulties that result from it make their analysis more interesting from a comparative point of view, they are the primary group explored in this article. This article is divided into theoretical and empirical section. It begins with a short introduction. Part two presents the concept of health and public health. The third part describes key factors differentiating health systems. It briefly presents the main healthcare models, that is: the Bismarck’s, Beveridge’s, Siemaszko’s and the residual model. The fourth section refers to a grouping method based on Hellwig’s taxonomic measure of development. Part five with its scope includes a comparative analysis of public health status of selected European countries. The sixth part presents major determinants of cluster formation. The paper ends with a conclusion that summarizes the obtained results.

Objectives: This paper focuses on the main characteristics of aging and cognitive decline, considering also the aging process through the conceptual prism of biology (mechanisms of shortening of telomeres, cell oxidation and decrease in growth hormone segregation). The main objective was to study the effectiveness of the use of video games as occupational therapy intervention in the cognitive training of the elderly. Methods: Literature review was carried out according to PRISMA guidelines. The PICO strategy was used for the research question construction and the literature search; the P would be equivalent to the target population (Elderly), the I would be equivalent to the intervention of the intervention group (Videogames), the C to the existence of a control group (Control) and the O to the objective or variable to be modified (Cognition). The search was done in different scientific databases: Medline (Pubmed), Academic Search Complete, Cinahl y Psycinfo (EBSCO), Ibecs y Lilacs (BVS) y OTSeeker. Findings: The results are promising in terms of the effectiveness of video games in the cognitive training of the elderly. However, the effects varied in the different categories of video games. Conclusions: The use of video games may be an effective occupational therapy intervention for the cognitive training of the elderly. New research is needed about the potential cognitive benefits of the different categories of video games.

W artykule przedstawiono wskaźnik samooceny stanu zdrowia (SRH), który jest szeroko stosowany w badaniach społecznych do monitorowania stanu zdrowia populacji. Może być również stosowany jako niezależny predykator umieralności, szczególnie dla osób starszych. W artykule przedstawiono analizę wpływu czynników społeczno-ekonomicznych, sytuacji życiowej i rodzinnej oraz stylu życia, jako determinant stanu zdrowia w Polsce dla osób w wieku 25 i więcej na podstawie danych pochodzących z dwóch badań stanu zdrowia przeprowadzonych przez GUS w latach 1996 i 2004. W badaniach wykorzystano analizę regresji logistycznej oraz analizę wskaźnika ryzyka populacyjnego (PAR - population attributable risk).

This article presents self-rated health (SRH) as a right subjective measure of population health. This measure is extensively used as a indicator in social studies for evaluation of health condition and health inequality. The Author reviewed studies of the last 20 years and stated that the used tool is proper measure of the health evaluation as well as good mortality predictor. The influence of some determinants resulted from SRH for people aged 25 and more in Poland, using data from Health Survey of 1996 and 2004, was analyzed in the article. Three groups of factors were examined: socio-economic conditions, family situation and individuals' life style. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the impact of analyzed factors on the negative assessment of health state. Additionally, a population attributable risk indicator was calculated to assess a relative contribution of the analyzed factors to the improvement of the population health condition.

Celem badania była ocena poziomu jakości życia uwarunkowanej zdrowiem (HRQL) w populacji osób dorosłych w Polsce w zależności od czynników demograficznych i społecznych. Do pomiaru HRQL wykorzystana została polska adaptacja kwestionariusza The Nottingham Health Profile — NHP. Zastosowane narzędzie pozwoliło na ocenę problemów zdrowotnych w sześciu wymiarach: energii życiowej, bólu, reakcji emocjonalnych, zaburzeń snu, wyobcowania społecznego oraz ograniczeń ruchowych. Zanalizowano także wpływ stanu zdrowia na różne sfery życia codziennego człowieka: pracę zawodową, prace domowe, życie towarzyskie i rodzinne, życie seksualne, zainteresowania oraz czas wolny. Analizę wyników poprzedzono zagadnieniami teoretycznymi obejmującymi pojęcie jakości życia oraz prezentację mierników służących do oceny jakości życia uwarunkowanej stanem zdrowia. Uzyskane wyniki potwierdziły złożoność analizowanego zagadnienia i jego uwarunkowanie różnymi czynnikami demograficznymi i społecznymi w populacji osób dorosłych w Polsce. (abstrakt oryginalny)

The study is aimed at evaluation of health-related quality of life (HRQL) in adult population in Poland, as determined by the socio-demographic factors. Poland-adapted version of the The Nottingham Health Profile (Wrzesniewski,1997) questionnaire was used. NHP provides a profile of perceived health problems in the areas of pain, physical abilities, emotional reaction, social isolation, sleep and energy level. It also enables assessing the extent to which distress affects such the activities of daily life as employment, jobs around the house, social life, personal relationships at home, sexual life, hobbies and holidays. The analyses of HRQL for Polish population confirm the multi-factor nature of his notion. The study proved significant correlation between the HRQL and the socio-economic and demographic factors, which should be taken into account while taking measures and discussion on life quality.
