<strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Hydrology</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Balneology</strong>: <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>Aspects</strong><br />

Conclusions<br />

Preliminary data obtained for the time being after partial processing of the questionnaires<br />

suggest that osteoarthritis is predominant, nearly equally with neurological<br />

pathology. Also, it seems that age of onset for each group of diseases changed,<br />

as a consequence of actual social <strong>and</strong> economic context. Balneal cure with specific<br />

natural factors used in sanatorium is efficient for most of the treated affections, fact<br />

evidenced by periodic return of patients in this medical unit.<br />
