Description

Explore the complex factors behind the growing health divide in Europe with this academic study from Springer. During the final 25 years of the Cold War, life expectancy in Central and Eastern Europe fell significantly behind Western nations. This trend continued to worsen following the political liberalization of 1989. This book provides a detailed examination of the determinants of health that contributed to this life expectancy gap. It analyzes how environmental pollution and adverse lifestyle choices impacted population longevity. The text also looks at the role of inadequate health care services and the various stresses caused by social and economic environments. Part of the NATO Science Partnership Subseries (Volume 2, 19), this work offers a deep look into the health disparities between East and West. It is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of politics, environment, and public health in Europe.
