Summary

In recent decades, the most important causes of death worldwide seem to be cardiovascular diseases, various forms of cancer and various types of infections. Factors of the above causes of death other than those genetically determined (e.g. heredity)/biological, are modern dietary habits and also environmental factors (such as environmental pollution).In order to investigate the effect of environmental factors and their possible correlation with diseases and number of deaths, we chose the Chordaki and Sternes villages of the Akrotiri area of ​​the Municipality of Chania. A key criterion for their selection was that they are located in a particularly environmentally burdened area, since in a relatively small distance there is a military and civilian (particularly busy) commercial airport, but also an air base and a shooting range.In the thesis, initially information is given regarding the areas of Chordaki and Sternes. Then, diagrams are presented regarding the main causes of death around the world (for the years 2000-2019), the factors that cause them, as well as the numbers of deaths from cardiovascular diseases and cancers. In the last chapter, a detailed statistical analysis is made regarding the numbers of deaths in the area, the causes of death and any correlations with demographic data (gender, profession, family status, etc.) are examined. The purpose is to establish whether there is a dominant cause of death in the area in terms of diseases.
