	Public health - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Public health is concerned with threats to the overall health of a community based on population health analysis.
		Public health has many sub-fields, but is typically divided into the categories of epidemiology, biostatistics and health services.
		Since the 1980s, the growing field of population health has broadened the focus of public health from individual behaviors and risk factors to population-level issues such as inequality, poverty, and education.

		Public health is concerned with the health and well-being of the whole community rather than the treatment of illness and disability.
		Health is viewed as resource for everyday living, and in turn is influenced by the everyday environment that we are part of.
		Public health focuses on three areas: preventing conditions that may put health at risk (health protection), early detection of health problems (screening), and changing peoples and societies attitudes and practices regarding lifestyle choices (health promotion).
