The United Nation (UN) approved the success and offered the International population Prize for Vietnam in 1999. From 1993 to 1999, the birth rate reduced from 3% to 2,19% per year. The rate of couple used the contraceptive methods increased from 53,7 to 75,31%. The population growth rate of 1,8% reduced gradually and will be the distributed birth rate in 2005. However, there were many challenges. The population program will develop the major activities related with the development of social-economy, renovation of the population activities in the new situation and quality of population in Vietnam.

A study on 2495 newly infected cancer cases in Thua Thien – Hue between 2001 and 2003 showed that males account for 54.9% and females account for 45.1%. The cancers of liver, stomach, lung, colon-rectum and leukemia were the leading cancers in males while the cancers of breast, stomach, cervix, lung and lymphoma were the leading cancers in females. The average annual incidence for both sexes was 76.1/100,000 habitants (in males was 80.9 per 100,000 habitants and in females was 67.6 per 100,000 habitants)

Population is major cause that impacts on the environmental damage and degeneration currently and in the future. This paper analysed the situation of Vietnam's population including growth rate, distribution, migration, municipalization, and structure as age, sex, and marital status. In Vietnam, the population has been impacting the environmental degeneration and damage such as forest, sea, water, resource, air and light.

There were 6 million people in 1999 in the world. The Vietnam's population are increasingly every year. Vietnam population in 1992 was more 1,632,000 than in 1991. Vietnam population in 1996 was more 1,392,000 than in 1995. The reduction of population growth was an urgent problem. The Vietnam's population feature was different from this of other countries that population's structure was young but average life expectancy was high. The rate of old people were increasingly. There was an increase of 2 millions of old people every year.

A study on 889 children ages of 6-15 in 8 schools in the urban of Hanoi and 367 childen ages of 6-15 of 2 schools in the suburb of Hanoi has shown that the rate of streptococcicosis A in the throat was 15.3%. There is no different of the rate of streptococcicosis. A between male and female and between pupils of primary school ages and pupils of secondary school. The children with upper respiratory tract infection were a higher risk of streptococcisis than others.

It is interested in examining treatment effect on a particular category of subjects or in comparing treatment effects among different subgroups as well as overall treatment effect due to heterogeneity of study subjects. Subgroup analyses are exceedingly common, but they are also often misleading. Conclusions based on subgroup analyses can do harm both when a particular category of people is denied effective treatment (a "false-negative" conclusion), and when ineffective or even harmful treatment is given to a subgroup of people (a "false-positive" conclusion). Because of the frequency and the importance of clinical application of subgroup analysis, researchers need to be cautious about doing subgroup analyses. This study presents guidelines to help conducting subgroup analyses correctly.

Introduction: Self-medication is a global phenomenon which has potential risks. Patients with chronic diseases like hypertension are most likely to self-medicate. Despite several studies about self-medication among general population, there are no studies done regarding self-medication on hypertensive patients in the rural settings in the Philippines. Objective: This study aimed to determine the factors on self-medication among adult hypertensive individuals in a rural community. Reason influencing self-medication, antihypertensive drugs used, source of medication and information about the medication were identified. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study used simple random sampling on adult hypertensive patients who consulted at the Barangay Health Station and during Sitio visits. Data were gathered using Interview-guided Questionnaire that was validated, piloted and reliability tested. Data were analyzed by SPSS Version 26. Results: One hundred fifty patients participated in the study. 94.7 % of them practice self-medication of antihypertensives mostly with Calcium Channel Blocker (68.3%) and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (58.5%). Prevalent reasons influencing self-medication were availability of the drug (72.5%), previous experience with the disease or medication (68.3%), perception that disease is simple (67.6%) and reasons that revolve on saving time and money. 61.9% of respondents who practice self-medication obtain their medications at Barangay Health Center while 65.5 % bought from Community Private Pharmacy. Previous prescription is pervasive among the sources of information about the medications (93.7%). Other sources of information were family, and health center midwife or nurse. Conclusion and Recommendation Self-medication practice is prevalent among hypertensive patients in the rural community. Practices revolve on availability of medication, previous experience on the disease and medication, and saving time or money. Since the study was conducted on a rural community, further research could be done which would include urban setting, impact of self-medication on the blood pressure, and correlation of sociodemographic factors.
