The health status of a population is the conjunction of many biological, political and social factors. The biological representations of diseases are attributed to factors, such as ischemic heart disease, that are attributed to unhealthy lifestyles when individuals have high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, or lack of physical activity, or to genetic factors while ignoring social factors such as poverty. This study observes how morbidity and mortality of the population could be affected by living conditions.
