This subject aims to place the student in a community context. We propose that they understand health as a continuous (non-dual) phenomenon with variations between population groups and over time. We also want to disseminate the idea that health depends, among other things, on the lifestyles of individuals, including nutrition. The course aims to provide the basis for measuring the health of the community and the factors that determine it, as well as to participate in the planning and evaluation of interventions.
Very important health problems in our environment (very frequent and causing high mortality or loss of quality of life) are closely linked to nutrition; examples are cardiovascular diseases or cancer. Finally, public health and the health system itself provide intervention tools to restore, preserve and improve the state of health of the community. At this level, students already have basic knowledge of biostatistics, epidemiology and other subjects in order to acquire the knowledge, competences and skills that this subject aims to provide.
