人口健康是一个相对较新的术语，尚未得到精确定义。它是一个健康概念还是一个健康决定因素的研究领域？我们提出的定义是“一组个人的健康结果，包括组内的分布，”我们认为，人口健康领域包括健康结果，健康决定因素的模式，以及政策和干预措施，这两者之间的联系。我们提出了一个基本原理，这个定义，并指出其区别于公共卫生，健康促进，社会流行病学。我们欢迎批评和讨论，这可能会导致对这一新兴概念达成一些共识。
Population health is a relatively new term that has not yet been precisely defined. Is it a concept of health or a field of study of health determinants?We propose that the definition be "the health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group," and we argue that the field of population health includes health outcomes, patterns of health determinants, and policies and interventions that link these two.We present a rationale for this definition and note its differentiation from public health, health promotion, and social epidemiology. We invite critiques and discussion that may lead to some consensus on this emerging concept.
