Course objectives

The aim of the subject is in particular:
- understanding the complexity of relationships between the environment, the individual and the population,
- awareness of the influence of environmental factors (physical, biological, chemical, psychosocial), civilization changes and lifestyle on the health of the individual and the population,
- awareness of the importance of the physician's position in the protection and support of health,
- understanding the basic principles of the emergence and spread of infectious diseases and their prevention.
Learning outcomes

AT THE END OF COURSE, THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE:
1. to explain the relationship between human and environment, its physical, chemical, biological and psychosocial factors and their interactions.
2. to explain the role of adaptation and its active support for the positive development and promotion of both individual and public health.
3. to make deduction about possibilities for preventive provisions in the field of clean and safe environmental, occupational and home surrounding, the quality of air, water, food.
4. to understand and explain the different types of prevention, their tasks and aims and methods of realization.
5. to interpret the positive and negative influences of lifestyle factors on human/public health, including the autoagressive behaviours (nutrition, physical activity, psychical overload and stress, smoking, abuse of alcohol and illegal drugs).
6. to make deductions about the importance of environment and lifestyle in the health protection and promotion, and about the primary prevention priorities.
7. to formulate decisions about concrete preventable possibilities for some more important non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular, oncological, metabolically, immune, respiratory.
8. to design and implement basic preventative and repressive measures to prevent transmission of infections.
