Global Health Perceived as Good or Very Good Among Men Aged 15+ with a Low Level of Education by Country

In 2023, New Zealand leads with 84.9% of men aged 15+ with low education perceiving their health as good or very good. Significant annual increases were observed in Czech Republic (5.66%) and Latvia (2.83%), indicating positive shifts in perceived health. In contrast, Denmark saw a notable decline (-4.27%). Notably, most countries experienced modest year-on-year changes, with a few others, including the United States (-0.34%), showing slight declines in perceptions.

Future trends to watch:

• The influence of healthcare policies aimed at improving health literacy among low-educated men could further improve health perceptions.
• Economic and sociopolitical changes impacting healthcare accessibility will likely affect these health perception trends significantly.
• Countries witnessing declining trends may need to focus more on mitigating factors like healthcare access disparities to improve future outcomes.
