Our health depends on many factors that we can more or less control. In addition to hereditary characteristics and the socio-economic environment, the individual lifestyle also inevitably has an influence. When it comes to nutrition, exercise, etc., Mr. and Mrs. Austrians often lag behind the recommendations of experts. Are you healthier than average? You can see for yourself here!
The latest health report from the Ministry of Health underlined with bare figures what the situation is like for us Austrians: on the one hand, women and men have lived an average of 2 and 2.9 years longer since 2005 and have also remained healthy for 7.8 and 7.4 years longer than in 1991. On the other hand, action is inevitably needed: “About two-thirds of the people in Austria suffer from chronic diseases. One in two people has limited health literacy. People with low incomes and formal education are disproportionately affected.”
