About this ranking

Share of people aged 16 and over who describe their health in general as very good or good (EU statistics on income and living conditions, EU-SILC).

A subjective measure: answers depend on expectations and on how the question reads in each language, so changes within a country are more reliable than gaps between countries. The reference year is the survey year.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the EU countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
