Do Hungarians have bad health?

According portfolio.hu, Croatian and Hungarian adults feel the worst about their health, while the Cyprians, Greeks, Irish and the Swedish claim to be the healthiest. Eurostat researched the health-perception of European Union members in honour of World Health Day.

Almost ¾ of the European Union’s 25-64 age group felt like their health condition was good or very good in 2015, while less than 7% felt like their health was bad or very bad. Eurostat’s classification included five levels: very good, good, fair, bad and very bad.

One of the main factors that have an influence on the perception of health is the level of education as an important socio-economic factor. 61% of the low qualified EU population, aged 25-64, said that they were healthy or very healthy, but this rate increased to 85% among highly qualified respondents.
