Global Health Perceived as Good or Very Good Among Persons Aged 45-64 by Country

In 2023, countries with high perceptions of health as good or very good among those aged 45-64 include Canada and New Zealand, both showing marginal positive trends. Greece stands out with a notable positive year-over-year change, while the U.S. shows a slight decline. Countries like Romania and the Czech Republic report significant improvements, while others such as Ireland and Sweden experience notable downturns. Over the last five years, Eastern European countries such as Estonia and Latvia have shown strong growth in positive health perceptions.

Future trends to watch include the continued recovery in Eastern Europe and the impact of healthcare innovations in countries with declining perceptions, like Ireland and Sweden. The role of preventive healthcare and technology in maintaining and improving these perceptions globally is key, particularly in aging populations.
