Lithuanians are among the healthiest nations in the EU member and accession states, according to a recently carried study in present and future EU members.
According to the Department of Statistics who conducted the survey in Lithuania, 8.4% of Lithuania’s residents aged 16-64 had long-term health problems in 2003. The figure for the EU is twice as big – 16.4%. Every 13th person of the age group in Lithuania and every 6th in Europe had long-term health problems.
Illnesses that lasted 6 and more months were considered to be long-term health troubles. The number of people having health complaints was the highest in Estonia – 23.7%.
Lithuania’s youth are also among the healthiest in Europe. Some 1.9% of young people aged 16-24 suffered from long-term illnesses.
