Sažetak
Estimation, follow-up, investigation and projection
of the development of health needs of people over 65
years of age is the basis for designing the Program of Health
Activity Measures, if the goal and purpose of health policy is
the fulfillment of the determined health needs in the population.
Due to that, one of the most important public health markers
of usability of health care of the mortality structures. The
group of circulatory diseases in the total number of the diseased
in the year 1999, in Croatia is disturbing with 52.11%.
As still more of two thirds of death causes in elderly people
are circulatory system diseases, the structure of death causes
of the whole population in Croatia and Zagreb is in fact the
reflection of death causes of elderly people. Stroke (I 64) as
the leading cause of death is the first in the range of all death
causes in the group of circulatory diseases with the participation
of 25.50%, having the biggest proportion of 69.12% in
the age group from 65 to 84 years. The investigation of the
mortality in the group of circulatory diseases must be operatively
directed towards continuous application of the program
of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of vulnerable
population groups, primarily of children and elderly people.
