Et spændende projekt kunne være at udforske, hvordan en bolig, der var ideelt tilpasset grønlandske forhold, ville se ud. 
It would be exciting to explore how a house perfectly adapted to conditions in Greenland would look.
Dette sidste er allerede afprøvet i fuld skala med tre forsøgsanlæg på tagene af nogle af kollegiebygningerne, hvor de studerende fra Bygge- og Anlægsskolen bor. 
Full-scale tests of solar energy have already been carried out with three experimental installations on the roofs of some of the hostels for students at the Building and Construction School.
Resultaterne viser, at der på årsbasis er lige så megen solenergi at hente som i Danmark. 
The results show that the sun gives off more energy in Greenland than in Denmark.
Efter sigende er Grønland på mange af disse områder nået så langt, at de grønlandske erfaringer især på det uddannelsesmæssige område vil kunne danne skole for andre dele af Arktis. 
It is said that in many of these fields and particularly within education, Greenland has achieved so much that it could act as a model for other parts of the Arctic.
Et afgørende forhold for udviklingen af tuberkulose er, hvor tæt man bor. 
The critical factors for the development of tuberculosis is how close together people live, the hygiene.
Men måske vigtigst er det at holde øje med sygdommen, for den kan ikke udryddes. 
At the end of the Second World War, tuberculosis was a gigantic problem.
Man fik skibet "Misigssut" for at kunne opspore nye TBtilfælde. 
The operation succeeded - fewer patients died!
Det kraftige fald skyldtes en kombination af vaccinationer og hurtig opsporing af nye tilfælde. 
In the same period, more effective treatment became available in the form of antibiotics, including streptomycin.
Flere og flere bedre boliger 
More and better homes
I de seneste år har der imidlertid været udbrud af tuberkulose i Kullorsuaq i Upernavik distrikt, i Uummannaq distrikt, i Nanortalik, Narsaq og Qagortoq (Julianehåb). 
In the last few years, however, there have been outbreaks of tuberculosis in Kullorsuaq in Upernavik district, in Uummannaq district, and in Nanortalik, Narsaq and Qagortoq.
Jeg spurgte Gunnar Pallisgaard, speciallæge i lungemedicinske sygdomme i Nuuk, om det er umuligt at komme tuberkulosen til livs. 
I asked Gunnar Pallisgaard, a specialist in pulmonary diseases in Nuuk, whether it was impossible to eradicate tuberculosis.
"TB-epidemien i Kullorsuaq kom til syne i 1994. 20 tilfælde blandt 300 mennesker. 
Gunnar Pallisgaard replied, "The TB epidemic in Kullorsuaq appeared in 1994 - 20 cases among 300 people.
Er der først en sådan hyppighed som i Kullorsuaq, er der god mulighed for, at den breder sig. 
With an incidence like that, there is every likelihood of the epidemic spreading - mainly perhaps because of the number of people living in each houses.
Ove Rosing Olsen gennemførte et projekt, hvor hygiejnen blev forbedret, dumpen blev udbedret, der blev bygget flere huse og først og fremmest et servicehus, der fik navnet "Prins Henrik". 
Ove Rosing Olsen carried out a project that included improving the general standard of hygiene, repairing the local dump, building more houses and, first and foremost, building a service centre, which was called "Prins Henrik".
Både i Danmark og i Grønland kom faldet i TB med bedre boligforhold, bedre institutioner, bedre sociale forhold. 
In both Denmark and Greenland, the fall in TB came with better housing conditions, better institutions and better social conditions.
Alt sammen faktorer der er medvirkende til at befolkningens almindelige modstandskraft mod tuberkulosen bliver forbedret. 
All these factors helped to improve the population's general resistance to tuberculosis.
Et sundt immunsystem i en sund krop 
A healthy immune system in a healthy body
Derpå begynder man at danne antistoffer og kan bekæmpe sygdommen. 
At that point, the person begins to form antibodies and can fight the disease.
Man kan have hvilende former, således at man er smittet men ikke har nogen sygdomssymptomer. 
One can have an inactive form of the disease, which means that, although infected, there are no symptoms.
Hvis man senere bliver svækket af andre grunde, kan sygdommen bryde igennem som lungetuberkulose, eller tuberkulose andre steder i kroppen. 
If a person later becomes weakened for other reasons, the disease can break out as pulmonary tuberculosis or tuberculosis in other parts of the body.
Sundhedsvæsenet i Grønland har ikke haft de bedste betingelser de sidste 10-15 år. 
The public health service in Greenland has not had the best of conditions in the past 10-15 years.
En del af sundhedspersonalet har været ansat i korte perioder. 
Some health personnel have been employed on short-term contracts.
De har ikke haft overskud til at tage sig af TB. 
They have not had sufficient reserves of energy to worry about TB.
Derfor er det af stor betydning, at embedslægen får anmeldt alle nye tilfælde af TB. 
It is therefore very important for the Medical Officer of Health to be notified of all new cases of TB.
Tuberkulosen vil fortsætte 
Tuberculosis will continue
Mens influenza og mæslinger har udbrud, der varer uger, kan TB tage mange år. 
Whereas outbreaks of influenza and measles last for weeks, outbreaks of TB can go on for years.
Der er et samspil mellem på den ene side TB-bakterien og på den anden side vaccine og antibiotika. 
There is some form of interaction between the TB bacterium and vaccine and antibiotics.
Der er stærkt varierende beskyttelse ved vaccination (fra 0-80%). 
The protection provided by vaccination varies greatly (from 0-80%).
Der er stigende forekomst af tuberkulosebakterier, der er resistent over for mange antibiotika. 
A very worrying development is the growing incidence of multidrug resistant tuberculosis.
Således er der lang vej at gå endnu før sygdommen er udryddet. 
There is therefore a long way to go before the disease is eradicated.
Der er også høj forekomst af "andre hjerte-sygdomme". 
Myths and opinions on public health in greenland
Men det ser ud til, at der er en lav forekomst af blodprop i hjertet blandt grønlændere. 
Looking at the overall picture, we find a higher incidence of cardiovascular diseases among Inuits than in Western Europe and the USA.
Man har selvfølgelig en masse formodninger om, hvordan det kan påvirke mennesker. 
One consequence of this is an increased incidence of diabetes.
Men dels er det formodninger og dels er det på marginalerne, det påvirker menneskene. 
"No health problems that can be attributed to environmental impacts have been recorded in Greenland," says Peter Bjerregaard.
Det er muligt, at fx den høje belastning med POP´er har en eller anden virkning på immunsystemet, så folk lettere får infektionssygdomme. 
"There are naturally a lot of suppositions about how such impacts affect people, but, firstly, they are only suppositions and, secondly, it is on the marginals that they affect people.
Men at folk bor tæt sammen i boliger af dårlig kvalitet, ved man jo har kæmpe indflydelse på forekomsten af infektionssygdomme." 
It is possible, for example, that the high Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) impacts have some effect or other on the immune system so that people more easily acquire infectious diseases.
Peter Bjerregaard er professor i arktisk sundhed og arbejder til daglig på Statens Institut for Folkesundhed (SIF). 
However, it is also well-known, of course, that living in overcrowded conditions in poor housing has an enormous effect on the incidence of infectious diseases."
Peter Bjerregaard pointerer, at man indtil videre ikke har kunnet se, at miljøbelastningen med tungmetaller og POP´er har ført til flere syge i den grønlandske befolkning. 
Peter Bjerregaard stresses that there have been no signs so far that the environmental impact with heavy metals and POPs has led to more cases of illness among the population of Greenland.
"Det er rimeligt nagelfast, at befolkningen tager på", svarer Peter Bjerregaard. 
"It is reasonably well proven that the population is gaining in weight", replies Peter Bjerregaard.
Det viste sig, at mens mændene ikke har taget på, har kvinderne på to år i gennemsnit taget et kilo på. 
The comparison showed that men had not gained in weight, but that women had put on an average of one kilo in two years.
Mens man tydeligt kan konstatere, at kvinderne tager på, er der forskellige tendenser for mænd og for kvinder. 
Although it is clear that women are gaining in weight, there are different trends for men and women.
Det samme har man fundet blandt inuitter i Canada. 
The same situation has been found among Inuits in Canada.
I Danmark er det generelt i den laveste socialgruppe, at folk både mænd og kvinder er fedest. 
In Denmark, both men and women are generally most overweight in the lowest social group that.
Skræmmebilledet fra Alaska 
Omens from Alaska
Antallet af fangere er gået ned gennem de senere år. 
The number of hunters has fallen in recent years.
Det er noget af det mest kaloriekrævende at være fanger i et koldt klima med hårdt fysisk arbejde. 
At the same time, it is the hunters and people out in the settlements that complain most of rheumatic pains and aching joints.
Der er en pris at betale for at bo i bygderne. 
That is the price paid for living in a settlement instead of a town.
Ændringerne i livsstil viser den samme tendens hele vejen rundt om polkalotten. 
The changes in lifestyle show the same trend all the way round the Ice Cap.
"Det er ikke engang så udtalt i Grønland, som det er i Alaska", siger Peter Bjerregaard. 
"The changes are not yet as pronounced in Greenland as in Alaska," says Peter Bjerregaard.
"Eskimoerne i Alaska er mere amerikaniserede i deres livsstil, så de bruger mere tid foran fjernsynet og de kører rundt på snescootere og terrængående køretøjer, bare de skal i byen. 
"The Eskimos in Alaska are more Americanised in their lifestyle, so they spend more time in front of the television and ride round on snow scooters and all-terrain vehicles, even when they are only going into town.
Inden for en lille bygd kan de sagtens finde på at bruge snescooter, bare de skal et par hundrede meter. 
Incredibly, in a small settlement, people will even use a snow scooter to go a hundred metres down the road.
Grønlænderne går meget mere, og der er også mere sund kropskultur." 
Greenlanders walk much more, and there is also a healthier attitude to physical exercise."
Men sundhedstilstanden i Alaska kan bruges som forvarsel for, hvor udviklingen kan være på vej hen i Grønland. 
However, the public health situation in Alaska can be used as a forewarning of the direction the trend can take in Greenland.
I Alaska er der sket en firdobling af tilfælde af diabetes (sukkersyge) i løbet af 20 år. 
In Alaska, cases of diabetes have quadrupled in 20 years.
Der er også sket en stigning i Grønland, dog ikke så voldsom som i Alaska. 
There has also been an increase in Greenland, but not as big as in Alaska.
"Vi har de sidste par år målt sukkerindholdet i blodet, som er den bedste måde at stille diagnosen diabetes på. 
"In the last couple of years we have been measuring the blood sugar level, which is the best way of diagnosing diabetes.
Vi undersøgte cirka 1000 grønlændere, og har fundet en høj forekomst af diabetes." 
We have tested about 1,000 Greenlanders and have found a high incidence of diabetes."
Det viste sig, at 10% af de undersøgte grønlændere over 35 år havde diabetes. 
The tests have shown that 10% of the tested Greenlanders over the age of 35 have diabetes.
Dette er på niveau med eller højere end i Danmark. 
This is at the same level, or higher, than in Denmark.
Det ser ud til, at der er en meget lav forekomst af blodprop i hjertet, mens det er en helt anden historie med de andre hjertekarsygdomme. 
Looking at a list of cardiovascular diseases, there appears to be a very low incidence of cardiac thrombosis, but it is a different story altogether with the other forms of cardiovascular disease.
Det er lidt kompliceret og bliver ikke mindre kompliceret, hvis man ser historisk på det. 
It is a bit complicated and becomes no less complicated when one looks at the historical picture.
Går vi lidt tilbage i historien ser det ud til, at der har været en tradition i Canada og Grønland som har sagt - alt sammen på anekdotisk baggrund - at der har været nogenlunde samme forekomst af blodprop i hjertet blandt inuitter som blandt den øvrige befolkning. 
Going slightly back in time, it seems to have been traditionally held in Canada and Greenland - all based anecdotally - that the incidence of cardiac thrombosis among Inuits is the same as in the rest of the population.
I Alaska har der været en anden lægelig tradition, der har sagt, at næsten ingen inuitter har haft blodprop i hjertet. 
In Alaska, there used to be a different medical tradition, according to which almost no Inuits suffered from cardiac thrombosis.
Om nogen af disse anekdotiske overleveringer overhovedet er andet end grebet ud af luften, er vanskeligt at sige på nuværende tidspunkt. 
It is difficult at the present time to decide whether there is any real basis for either tradition.
Men i 1960´erne tog den amerikanske tradition over og siden har det heddet sig, at der har været en meget lav forekomst af blodprop i hjertet. 
However, in the 1960s, the American tradition took over, and since then it has been said that there is a very low incidence of cardiac thrombosis.
Men der er stadig ikke noget, der underbygger det. 
All the same, there is still nothing that substantiates this assertion.
Nu om dage er det i Grønland få dødsattester, der bliver skrevet blodprop i hjertet på. 
Nowadays, few death certificates in Greenland give cardiac thrombosis as the cause of death.
Men når man lever i en tradition, hvor man "ved", at det ikke er særligt hyppigt, at blodprop i hjertet optræder blandt grønlændere, så skriver lægen det nødigt på dødsattesten. 
However, with the tradition of "knowing" that the incidence of cardiac thrombosis in Greenlanders is not very high, few doctors want to put that cause of death on a death certificate.
Der er en selvformindskende virkning. 
There is a self-reducing effect at work.
Det er kun ved drab, at der af retslægelige årsager foretages obduktion. 
Only in cases of murder or manslaughter is one carried out for forensic reasons.
Summa summarum så ved vi ikke med sikkerhed, i hvor høj grad hjertekarsygdomme har været årsag til døden. 
However, it does seem that there is a low incidence of cardiac thrombosis among Greenlanders, even though that has not been definitively proven.
Livsstil og helbred 
Lifestyle and health
I de livsstilsundersøgelser, Peter Bjerregaard har været med til, har man spurgt folk om, hvordan de selv vurderede deres helbredstilstand. 
In the lifestyle studies in which Peter Bjerregaard has participated, people were asked for their own evaluation of their state of health.
"De sagde om sig selv, at de havde et dårligt helbred med gigt og andre gener fra arme, ben og ryg." 
They said that their health was poor and that they suffered from rheumatism and other problems with their arms, legs and back."
Det samme billede ser man i Danmark, når man sammenligner livet på landet med livet i byerne. 
One sees the same picture in Denmark when comparing life in rural areas with urban life.
Der er ikke nogen sociale forskelle i, hvem der ryger. 
There are no social differences between smokers and nonsmokers.
Mens det ifølge statistikken tidligere var sådan, at folk i Grønland i gennemsnit drak dobbelt så meget som folk i Danmark, er forbruget af alkohol nu gået meget ned. 
According to the statistics, people in Greenland used to drink, on average, twice as much as people in Denmark, but alcohol consumption has now fallen considerably and is now only slightly higher than the average consumption in Denmark.
Indtagelsen af alkohol i Grønland ligger nu en lille smule over det gennemsnitlige danske forbrug. 
Peter Bjerregaard offers this explanation for the reduction: "It was always Danes that drank most in Greenland.
Peter Bjerregaard har denne forklaring på nedgangen: "Det har altid været sådan, at dem der drak mest i Grønland, var danskere. 
So one of the reasons why alcohol consumption has fallen in Greenland is that fewer Danes are stationed there now.
Men endnu vigtigere, at der er ved at ske en holdningsændring i befolkningen." 
However, more important still is the fact that attitudes are changing in the population."
Der er sociale forskelle på drikkeriet i Grønland. 
There are social differences in the pattern of drinking in Greenland.
Men det er lidt vanskeligt at beskrive drikkemønsteret i Grønland, fordi det er så episodisk, måske hver fjortende dag, hvis du får fjortendagsløn, måske hver måned, hvis du får månedsløn. 
However, it is a little difficult to describe the pattern because the drinking is so spasmodic - perhaps every fortnight in the case of those paid fortnightly and perhaps every month in the case of those paid monthly.
De almindelige måder at registrere på, som man bruger i Danmark og andre lande, slår ikke til, fordi det ikke så meget er det gennemsnitlige forbrug over et år, der er interessant, men det voldsomt episodiske. 
The usual methods of recording alcohol consumption in Denmark and other countries are of no use because it is not so much the average consumption over a year that is interesting, but the extremely episodic drinking.
Dertil kommer, at det er meget usikre svar, man får. 
Besides that, the answers given are very unreliable.
En anden myte, som Peter Bjerregaard gennemhuller, er, at forklaringen på de mange alkoholproblemer og det store alkoholforbrug skulle ligge i bestemte enzymforhold og dermed være genetisk bestemt. 
Another myth well and truly holed by Peter Bjerregaard is that the many alcohol problems and high alcohol consumption are caused by certain enzymatic factors and are thus genetically determined.
Altså at grønlændere lettere skulle blive fulde, fordi de ikke har de samme alkoholnedbrydende enzymer i leveren som fx danskerne. 
In other words, it is supposed that Greenlanders become inebriated more quickly because they do not have the same alcohol-catabolising enzymes in the liver as, for example, Danes.
Det kan ikke underbygges. 
There is no scientific support for this.
Spædbørnsdødeligheden i Grønland er høj. 
Infant mortality in Greenland is high.
Kurven har ligget parallelt med den tilsvarende danske med et pænt fald, men 30 år forskubbet bagud i tiden. 
The trend lies parallel with the corresponding Danish trend 30 years ago, displaying a handsome fall.
Spædbørnsdødeligheden i Grønland svarer til spædbørnsdødeligheden i Danmark for 30 år siden. 
So, infant mortality in Greenland corresponds to that in Denmark 30 years ago.
I Grønland for 30 år siden svarede den til, hvad den var i Danmark for 60 år siden. 
In Greenland 30 years ago, it corresponded to the situation in Denmark 60 years ago.
Den gennemsnitlige levealder har altid været lavere end i Danmark. 
Average life expectancy in Greenland has always been lower than in Denmark.
Disse vanskeligheder er en del af baggrunden for, at "forebyggelsesfunktionen i Grønland ikke er noget at råbe hurra for," som Peter Bjerregaard tørt konstaterer. 
The fact that the questions and answers are given in Greenlandic and that other factors than health are included in the assessment of quality of life does not make things any easier.
Sundheden gennem et halvt århundrede 
Public health through half a century
Indtil for 50 år siden var truslerne mod sundheden: Tuberkulose, polio, tyfus og andre smitsomme sygdomme. 
Until 50 years ago, the threats to health were: tuberculosis, polio, typhoid and other infectious diseases.
Ulykker var der også mange af. 
There were also many accidents.
Derefter kom den første moderniseringsperiode. 
Then came the first period of modernisation.
I denne periode er alkoholproblemer og selvmord stigende. 
In this period, alcohol problems and suicides were rising.
Nu - i den tredje periode - er det velfærdssygdommene, der slår igennem. 
Now - in the third period - it is lifestyle diseases that are appearing.
Det er således disse kroniske lidelser, den fremtidige forskning skal koncentrere sig om. 
It is thus on these chronic diseases that researchers must concentrate in future.
Hvad betyder det i praksis? 
What does that mean in practice?
Den bedste måde at undersøge dette på vil være at opsøge grønlændere, der er flyttet til Danmark og sammenligne med grønlændere, der bor i Grønland i byer og bygder. 
The best way of investigating this would be to seek out Greenlanders that have moved to Denmark and compare them with Greenlanders living in towns and settlements in Greenland.
Hvis man opsøger de samme mennesker igen efter 10-15 år, vil man kunne beskrive årsager til en uheldig udvikling. 
If one went back to the same people after 10-15 years, one would be able to describe causes for an unfortunate trend.
Men - for at vende tilbage til startspørgsmålet - om nogen må Statens Institut for Folkesundhed være vagthund for, hvornår miljøpåvirkningerne truer den arktiske folkesundhed. 
However, going back to the beginning, I ask whether it is not the National Institute of Public Health, rather than any other body, that must take on the role of watchdog, ready to raise the alarm when environmental impacts threaten public health in the Arctic.
Selv om man ikke umiddelbart kan sætte en sygdom på, så er det en uønsket tilstand. 
Although that cannot be related to any specific disease, it is an undesirable situation.
Det kan ikke være sundt." 
It cannot be healthy."
Sundhed i Sisimiut 
Public health in Sisimiut
Hvert år er der i Sisimiut (Holsteinsborg) en uges kampagne for at forbedre sundhedsvanerne. 
Every year, the health centre in Sisimiut (Holsteinborg) puts on a oneweek campaign to improve the population's health habits.
Det drejer sig altid om at få borgerne til at være aktivt opmærksomme på at forebygge sygdomme gennem en sund levevis. 
The purpose is the same every time: to get people to understand that a healthy lifestyle protects against disease.
Årets uge 46 er noget særligt i Sisimiut. 
Week 46 of the year is a special week in Sisimiut.
Den uge syder det af aktivitet i medborgerhuset. 
The local community centre is seething with activity.
Det er årets sundhedsemne, der er til debat. 
This year's health theme is being debated.
I sundhedsugen er der mulighed for at deltage i fællesspisning i medborgerhuset og få opskrifterne med hjem bagefter. 
Communal meals are laid on at the community centre all week, and recipes are given out.
"Vi har tradition for denne aktiveringsmetode," siger Ove Rosing Olsen, der er chefdistriktslæge i Sisimiut. 
"We have a tradition for this method of activation," says Ove Rosing Olsen, who is the Chief District Medical Officer in Sisimiut.
Det er et meget populært arrangement. 
The health week is a very popular event.
Cirka halvdelen af befolkningen er med. 
About half the population participate in it.
Det er blevet en fast etableret tradition, og der er lavet en skabelon for metoden, så den kan bruges alle steder i Grønland. 
It has become a well-established tradition, and a template has been made for the method, so that it can be used elsewhere in Greenland.
Der er en almen oplysende del og en videnskabelig del, hvor man efter at have aktiveret befolkningen laver undersøgelser af sundhedsproblemer i lokalområdet. 
The method has two elements: the first is the public information activities and activation of the population and the second is scientific studies of health problems in the area.
I den videnskabelige del er der kontakt med Statens Serum Institut, med epidemiologisk afdeling, hvor der er en forskergruppe, som man arbejder sammen med. 
During the scientific follow-up, the health centre works together with a research team at the Department for Epidemiological Research at Statens Serum Insitut in Denmark.
Lige nu er man i gang med at undersøge leverbetændelse. 
Right now, hepatitis is being investigated.
Denne sidste undersøgelse er udvidet til at omfatte andre byer (Aasiaat og Ilulissat). 
This last study was extended to other towns (Aasiaat and Ilulissat).
Overraskende nok var disse luftvejsinfektioner lige hyppige sommer og vinter. 
Surprisingly, these bronchial infections occur equally frequently in summer and winter.
