title: Economic aspects of health.
abstract: This study described in this article was undertaken to assess the possibility of getting a general picture of the public health situation to be used in such economically oriented models as cost-benefit, cost-effectiveness and cost-utility. Problems of data bases encountered in this assessment of various republics, regions and administrative entities are also considered. New mathematicodemographic statistical models and a family of potential factographic automated information reference systems (FAIRS) based on these models and designed to be utilized in projects, programmes and regional systems of public health are analysed.
