What is the health status of the Belgian population? [1]
Since 2019, Sciensano has been combining the results of various studies and sources via the online ‘Health Status Report [2]’ to estimate how healthy the Belgian inhabitants are. In general, we are rather healthy, but in some areas, such as mental health, we do not score very well. The COVID-19 crisis also had a clear impact on our health. In addition, important health inequalities remain, both at regional and socio-economic level.
We summarise the most important results on the health status of the Belgian population in a PDF report [3]. However, we recommend consulting the Health Status Report online via the website www.healthybelgium.be [2] for the most recent and extensive health information.
