Abstract
Abstract. Assessing the health status of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County residents a picture of the health of the county in the health context will be obtained. This would identify and evaluate the health needs of the population. The health and health needs of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County residents were assessed using routine health and demographic statistics. For Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, demographic and health indicators were analyzed. In the research of health indicators, the data of the World Health Organization from the health improvement strategy “Health for all in the 21st century” and the data of mortality statistics of the Croatian Institute of Public Health were used. The analysis of the indicators will be performed by a descriptive-statistical method, primarily by comparative analysis. The level of representation and interpretation of data was the County and its four subregional units. The contribution of this paper consists of supporting decision-makers to promote, maintain and improve community health and quality of living in the County on the basis of measuring the health needs of the population. The assessment could serve for selecting new priorities as well as the basis for developing guidelines for future interventions in the community.
