Description
Itsaly displays many excellent indicators of population health, including the highest life expectancy in the world. Still, many people are pessimistic about their health – 14% of adults rate their own health poorly – though this partly reflects linguo-cultural differences. Suicide rates are also relatively high (sixth highest among OECD countries), but have fallen gradually over time.
Most people lead healthy lifestyles, with low rates of alcohol consumption and the lowest share of adults overweight or obese. Overall smoking rates are close to the OECD average, but smoking rates for men are high.
Italy’s ageing population poses challenges for fiscal sustainability, increasing demand for health and long-term care services. Italy has the highest dementia prevalence (25 per 1000 population) and share of people aged 80 and over (8.5%)
