This article analyses the medical demography data in France, particularly the situation concerning lung specialists.
Study of the published data, particularly institutional reports (Ministry of Health, Sickness Insurance).
The demography is characterised by important differences between specialties, regions, and salaried and private practice, as well as the effects of ageing and the increasing numbers of female practitioners. Lung specialists are, on average, younger and more evenly distributed between the different types of practice. Nevertheless they risk experiencing the same difficulties as other specialties in responding to the needs of the French population. The principle proposals of the public authorities concern the restriction of numbers, the regulation of established specialists and new methods of access to the speciality.
Medical demography has a major role in the future of the French health care system.
本文分析了法国的医学人口统计学数据，特别是肺部专科医生的情况。
对已发表的数据进行研究，特别是机构报告（卫生部、医疗保险机构）。
人口统计学的特点是不同专科、地区、受薪和私人执业之间存在重大差异，以及老龄化的影响和女性从业者数量的增加。肺部专科医生平均而言更年轻，并且在不同类型的执业中分布更为均匀。然而，他们在满足法国民众需求方面可能会面临与其他专科相同的困难。公共当局的主要提议涉及限制人数、对现有专科医生的监管以及进入该专科的新途径。
医学人口统计学对法国医疗保健系统的未来具有重要作用。
