Abstract

Lifestyle is a concept closely related to society development and thus the emergence and widely spreading the concept of sustainable development. In the context in which environmental factors have been altered because of the hegemonic desire of developed nations to using natural resources at a rate beyond the regenerative capacity, the unprecedented indirect effect of impaired human health due to these actions appeared. This explains the lifestyle concept development and the link with sustainable development. This article aims to highlight just those indicators that correlate with variables such as pollution and to show that, regardless of the stage of economic development of a country, the influence of pollution on health has negative repercussions. In areas where lifestyle is reflected through positive actions, like environmental protection, the benefit most important to people is to improve their health.
