Special Eurobarometer 329: Health Determinants

This Special Eurobarometer survey addresses several aspects of the health of European Citizens. It builds upon similarly related projects that took place in 2003, 2005 and in October-November 2007. These measured results from EC's Health Strategy, a Public Health's program adopted for the period 2003-2007. One of the key purposes of this 2009 project is to check evolutions compared with findings from the previous studies. Another objective is benchmark findings from this research against DG Sanco's annual work, and particularly against the quantitative data it includes.
This report examines the following themes in turn:
o Check ups: it includes data on seven medical check-ups, from general health to heart and cancer check-ups
o Healthy lifestyle awareness and practice
- Healthy diet
- Physical activity
- Attitudes towards "passive" smoking

The results by volumes are distributed as follows:

• Volume A: Countries
• Volume AA: Groups of countries
• Volume A' (AP): Trends
• Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries
• Volume B: EU/socio-demographics
• Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics
• Volume C: Country/socio-demographics
