The Implications of Health Indicators: A Comment

BASIL S. HETZEL1

1 Professor of Social and Preventive Medicine Monash University, Alfred Hospital Melbourne 3181, Victoria, Australia

Improved health indicators rest mainly on control of the physical and social environment—rather than on the provision of therapeutic services. This applies to minority groups, to the developing world and to the Western developed world.
