Health at a Glance: Europe 2016: State of Health in the EU Cycle (Volume 2016)

This fourth edition of Health at a Glance: Europe presents key indicators of health and health systems in the 28 EU countries, 5 candidate countries to the EU and 3 EFTA countries. This 2016 edition contains two main new features: two thematic chapters analyse the links between population health and labour market outcomes, and the important challenge of strengthening primary care systems in European countries; and a new chapter on the resilience, efficiency and sustainability of health systems in Europe, in order to align the content of this publication more closely with the 2014 European Commission Communication on effective, accessible and resilient health systems. This publication is the result of a renewed collaboration between the OECD and the European Commission under the broader "State of Health in the EU" initiative, designed to support EU member states in their evidence-based policy making. - Foreword - Executive Summary - Readers' Guide - The Labour Market Impacts Of Ill-health - Strengthening Primary Care Systems - Life Expectancy And Healthy Life Expectancy At Birth - Life Expectancy And Healthy Life Expectancy At Age 65 - Mortality From All Causes - Mortality From Heart Disease And Stroke - Mortality From Cancer - Mortality From Respiratory Diseases - Suicide - Infant And Child Mortality - Self-reported Health And Disability - Notified Cases Of Vaccine-preventable Diseases - New Reported Cases Of Hiv, Tuberculosis, And Sexually-transmitted Infections - Cancer Incidence - Diabetes Prevalence - Asthma And Copd Prevalence - Dementia Prevalence - Smoking Among Children - Smoking Among Adults - Alcohol Consumption Among Children - Alcohol Consumption Among Adults - Overweight And Obesity Among Children - Overweight And Obesity Among Adults - Fruit And Vegetable Consumption Among Children - Fruit And Vegetable Consumption Among Adults - Physical Activity Among Children - Physical Activity Among Adults - Use Of Illicit Drugs Among Adults - Air Pollution - Health Expenditure Per Capita - Health Expenditure In Relation To Gdp - Health Expenditure By Function - Pharmaceutical Expenditure - Financing Of Health Care - Avoidable Mortality (preventable And Amenable) - Avoidable Hospital Admissions - Prescribing In Primary Care - Mortality Following Acute Myocardial Infarction (ami) - Mortality Following Stroke - Screening, Survival And Mortality For Cervical Cancer - Screening, Survival And Mortality For Breast Cancer - Survival And Mortality For Colorectal Cancer - Healthcare-associated Infections - Childhood Vaccination Programmes - Influenza Vaccination For Older People - Late-diagnosed Hiv And Tuberculosis Treatment Outcomes - Coverage For Health Care - Unmet Health Care Needs - Out-of-pocket Medical Expenditure - Doctors - Nurses - Consultations With Doctors - Medical Technologies: Ct Scanners And Mri Units - Hospital Beds - Hospital Discharges - Cardiac Procedures - Hip And Knee Replacement - Waiting Times For Elective Surgery - Ehealth Adoption In General Practice And In Hospitals - Capital Expenditure In The Health Sector - Share Of Generic Market For Pharmaceuticals - Ambulatory Surgery - Average Length Of Stay In Hospital - Medical And Nursing Graduates - Projections Of Public Expenditure On Health And Long-term Care - Statistical Annex Annotation This fourth edition of Health at a Glance: Europe presents key indicators of health and health systems in the 28 EU countries, 5 candidate countries to the EU and 3 EFTA countries
