Kindig and Stoddart (2003), define population health as “an approach [that] focuses on interrelated conditions and factors that influence the health of populations over the life course, identifies systematic variations in their patterns of occurrence, and applies the resulting knowledge to develop and implement policies and actions to improve the health and well-being of those populations.”

They propose that population health is concerned with both the definition of measurement of health outcomes and the pattern of determinants. Determinants include medical care, public health interventions, genetics, and individual behavior, along with components of the social (e.g., income, education, employment, culture) and physical (e.g., urban design, clean air, water) environments.

@Daniel Cebo, thanks dr Cebo, please correct me, definitions explained above indicate that population health deals with health outcomes and the determinants, whereas public health deals with disease prevention and control.

@Daniel Cebo, Is it right interpretation of above definitions?

Population Health seeks to identify the key determinants of health, disease and death in the populations for the purposes of prevention and control at the population level.

Please check

population health is concerned with both the definition of measurement of health outcomes and the pattern of determinants. Determinants include medical care, public health interventions, genetics, and individual behavior, along with components of the social (e.g., income, education, employment, culture) and physical (e.g., urban design, clean air, water) environments.

Public health, on the other hand, can be defined as what “we as a society do collectively to assure the conditions in which people can be healthy” (Institute of Medicine, 1988). Federal and state public health policies and programs play an important role in the health of the overall population of a nation and its states; however, as noted in the definition above public health is not the same as population health.

thank you dr Nirmala S.V.S.G

Population health is about the health of the nation (government oriented).

Public health is concerned on social issues (community oriented).

excellent question!!!  they are intertwined like the stainless steel "Scrubble" I use to scrub the pots and pans!!!

Thank you Dr. Polina Lemenkova & Meredith Jaye Addison

Population health is is an approach to health that aims to improve the health of an entire human population.

while the public health is a branch of medicine dealing with public health, including hygiene, epidemiology, and disease prevention.

@Mawahib Ahmed Elawad, thank you so much.

Public health refers to “the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private, communities, and individuals.”1 The work of public health is centered on promoting healthy lifestyles through health education, protecting against environmental hazards, controlling infectious diseases, preparing for and responding to disasters, and promoting healthcare equity, quality, and accessibility. Overall, public health is focused on protecting the health of entire populations, from the community level up to the global level.

Population health is defined as “the health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group.”3 It is comprised of three main components: health outcomes, health determinants, and policies.4 Population health outcomes are the product of multiple “inputs” or determinants of health, including policies, clinical care, public health, genetics, behaviors (e.g., smoking, diet, and treatment adherence), social factors (e.g., employment, education, and poverty), environmental factors (e.g., occupational, food, and water safety), and the distribution of disparities in the population. Thus, population health can be thought of as the science of analyzing the inputs and outputs of the overall health and well-being of a population and using this knowledge to produce desirable population outcomes. A population’s health can be analyzed at various geographic levels (e.g., countries, states, counties, or cities), including health disparities based on race or ethnicity, income level, or education level.5

Population Health is an approach that utilizes non-traditional partnerships among different sectors of the community – public health, industry, academia, health care, local government entities, etc. – to achieve positive health outcomes.

Public Health a branch of medicine that promotes and protects the health of people and the communities where they live, learn, work and play.

Population Health sounds like precisely what we need, and what I have been working on for the past 25 years!  Specifically the time-sensitive diagnosis of ACUTE care TRAUMA and serious injury.

Salud Publica se refiere a la que compromete a grupos d e personas en cuanto a sus riesgos de enfermar y las medidas para prevenir e implica un trabajo inter sectorial es responsabilidad principalmente de los gobiernos nacionales , regionales o locales de acuerdo a planes

I would consider population health as part of public health which consists many areas.
