abstract = {The economic depression of the 1930s represented the most important economic
and social crisis of its time. Surprisingly, its effect on health did not show in available morbidity
and mortality rates. In 1932, the League of Nations Health Organisation embarked on a
six-point program addressing statistical methods of measuring the effect and its influence on
mental health and nutrition and establishing ways to safeguard public health through more
efficient health systems. Some of these studies resulted in considerations of general relevance
beyond crisis management. Unexpectedly, the crisis offered an opportunity to reconsider key
concepts of individual and public health.},
