Abstract
The objective of this paper is to present an initial information on the construction and usefulness of new indicators of population health situation (Human Development Index - HDI, Disability Adjusted Life Years - DALY and other indices). Some of these indicators are referred in the literature as the measures of disease burden. These measures are discussed here in the context of problems related to health inequalities, epidemiological transformation and concept of Lalonde's health fields.
