摘要：The primary goals of the study were a critical analysis of the concepts associated with health from the perspective ofsustainable development, and empirical analysis of health and health- related issues among the rural and urban residentsof Eastern Poland in the context of the sustainable development of the region. The study was based on the followingresearch methods: a systemic approach, selection and analysis of the literature and statistical data, developing a specialquestionnaire concerning socio-economic and health inequalities among the population in the studied area, field researchwith an interview questionnaire conducted on randomly-selected respondents (N=1,103) in randomly selected areas ofthe Lubelskie, Podkarpackie, Podlaskie and eastern part of Mazowieckie Provinces (with the division between provincialcapital cities – county capital cities – other cities – rural areas). The results of statistical surveys in the studied area with theuse of chi-square test and contingence quotients indicated a correlation between the state of health and the followingindependent variables: age, life quality, social position and financial situation (C-Pearson’s coefficient over 0,300); a statisticallysignificant yet weak correlation was recorded for gender, household size, place of residence and amount of free time. Theconducted analysis proved the existence of a huge gap between state of health of the population in urban and rural areas.In order to eliminate unfavourable differences in the state iof health among the residents of Eastern Poland, and provideequal sustainable development in urban and rural areas of the examined areas, special preventive programmes aimed atthe residents of peripheral, marginalized rural areas should be implemented. In these programmes, attention should bepaid to preventive measures, early diagnosis of basic civilization and social diseases, and better accessibility to medicalservices for the residents.
