Sažetak
Introduction and objectives. The Split-Dalmatia County (SDC) is the second largest county in Croatia, accounting for 10.6% of the population of Croatia. It is located in the central part of Southern Croatia with three distinct geographical-social units: Coast, Islands and Hinterland. As population is a core value of socio-medical interest, the aim of this paper is to present the Split-Dalmatia County population demographic de-terminants between the two censuses. Methods. The demographic analysis was based on the published 2001 and 2011 Census results and on the vital (demo-graphic) statistics data for the period 2001-2018. Re-sults. According to the 2011 Census, the SDC had a total of 454, 798 residents, 71.2% in the Coastal region, 6.6% on the Islands and 22.2% in the Hinterland, with extremely uneven population density (Coastal areas 379.4 ; Islands 34.2, and Hinterland 40.0 inhabitants / km2). SDC demographic trend between the two cen-suses was negative (-8, 878), the Coastal region (-754), the Islands (312) and the Hinterland (-8, 436). Total depopulation was accompanied by the natural depop-ulation. The rate of natural increase in SDC in 2018 was -1.8/1.000 (in 2001 it was 1.0/1.000). The overall depopulation was also due to the migration trends in SDC (inter-census difference -12.531), especially in the Hinterland (inter-census difference -8.686). Age structure analytical change indicators point to a sig-nificant aging of the population. (2011 Census: aver-age age 40.8 years ; age ratio 16.6% ; aging index 73.6% vs. Census 2001: average age 38.1 years ; age ratio 14.3% ; aging index 56.1%). According to the 2011 Census, the Islands index was 123.1%. The aging pro-cess is largely due to the declining share of the young population (0-19 years) in the total population (in 2018 it was 20.42% versus the 2001 Census: 25.5%) and the share of the fertile contingent (women aged 15-49) of the total female population (in 2018 it was 42.62% versus the 2001 Census of 47.3%). Conclu-sions. Depopulation, population aging and uneven population density are characteristics of the SDC de-mography, which are particularly high in the Islands and the Hinterland. This demographic situation high-lights the increased medical care needs and associated problems facing the health sector and society as a whole, and calls for urgent measures to remedy it.
