Abstract: The standard measurement of health systems from the European states based on Euro Health Consumer Index revealed the fact that Romania is situated among the last places in Europe, also being registered a continuous depreciation of the health system during the last years. In Romania, the morbidity and mortality models have suffered important modifications lately, in the sense of an increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and mortality due to these causes, in the context of the increasing share of old population, associated with the multiple action of biological risk factors, environment and behavioral factors as well as under the influence of social, economical and medical assistance conditions. Food quality directly influences the population’s health condition. The disaggregation of food consumption of Romanian population on nutritive factors suggests a series of nutritional imbalances due to excess or deficit, the failure to correct them leading to the increased risk of chronic diseases.
