This statistical atlas presents key health figures for the WHO European Region. They cover basic data on populations, births, deaths, life expectancy and diseases, lifestyle and environmental indicators such as drinking, smoking and traffic accidents, and types and levels of health care. All indicators are presented as a map to show overall regional variations, a bar chart to indicate country rankings and a time chart to show trends over time in three main country groupings. Using the WHO Regional Office for Europe’s unique health for all database, combined with the best alternative sources of data around the Region, this atlas offers the most comprehensive overview of health in Europe. In a handy size, this atlas is designed to be an easily accessible resource at all times, in the office or on the road.

The World Health Organization was established in 1948 as a specialized agency of the United Nations serving as the directing and coordinating authority for international health matters and public health. One of WHO’s constitutional functions is to provide objective and reliable information and advice in the field of human health, a responsibility that it fulfils in part through its publications programmes. Through its publications, the Organization seeks to support national health strategies and address the most pressing public health concerns. The WHO Regional Office for Europe is one of six regional offices throughout the world, each with its own programme geared to the particular health problems of the countries it serves. The European Region embraces some 870 million people living in an area stretching from Greenland in the north and the Mediterranean in the south to the Pacific shores of the Russian Federation. The European programme of WHO therefore concentrates both on the problems associated with industrial and post-industrial society and on those faced by the emerging democracies of central and eastern Europe and the former USSR. To ensure the widest possible availability of authoritative information and guidance on health matters, WHO secures broad international distribution of its publications and encourages their translation and adaptation. By helping to promote and protect health and prevent and control disease, WHO’s books contribute to achieving the Organization’s principal objective – the attainment by all people of the highest possible level of health.

Foreword
Foreword Decisions in the area of public health are based on a profound understanding of a wide range of factors, health statistics among them. Policy-makers consider all the available data on the health status in their countries, and shape their policies and design their actions accordingly. The comparison of national with international health data is a major part of the complex picture of public health: statistics backed up by in-depth analyses can be a powerful resource to help health authorities identify failures and successes, constraints and good practices. The WHO Regional Office for Europe offers this atlas to a wide range of public health and medical professionals, as well as to a broader audience. Rich and elaborate data from various sources have been gathered, systematized, grouped and formatted to present readers with the most complete picture of the health of Europe that can be expressed through figures. We hope this statistical atlas will be useful for those committed to the improvement of public health Europe-wide.

Technical notes
Technical notes This publication contains basic health-related statistics for the 51 Member States of the WHO European Region. The data cover the main aspects of health and its determinants, i.e. basic demographic data, health status in terms of mortality and morbidity, and some indicators on lifestyles and the environment, health care resources and their utilization. The period covered runs from 1980 at the earliest to 2001 at the latest, depending on the data available in the various countries. The only exception is the mid-year population graph, which shows data for 2002. Most of the data used in this publication come from the Member States themselves, usually from statistical units of ministries of health or public health institutions, and national statistical institutions. These data are systematically collected by the technical units of WHO (at the Regional Office for Europe or in headquarters) or by WHO collaborating centres. All these data, and more, are available in databases accessible on the WHO/Europe web site (http://www.euro.who.int) Information sources > Data > European health for all database; and on the WHO headquarters web site (http://www.who.int) Research tools > WHOSIS. For the sake of completeness, some publicly available data collected and published by other international organizations (such as the International Labour Office (ILO), the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)) have also been included when appropriate, with the information source acknowledged. Data were compiled, validated and processed in a uniform way in order to improve the international comparability of statistics. Nevertheless, many factors, such as variations in national definitions, incomplete registration in some countries or other national specificities in data recording and processing, may influence the accuracy and comparability of the national statistics.

Atlas of health in Europe Therefore, statistics, particularly in international comparisons, should always be interpreted with caution. The same applies to statistics for countries with very small populations (figures tend to “jump” up and down purely because of the small numbers registered). On the other hand, the “statistical noise” from possible data inaccuracies or random fluctuations due to small figures is usually not so high as to mask completely what the statistics show. Most of the data in this publication are presented in three standard graphic forms. The ranked bar -char bar-char -chartt shows the relative position of each country in relation to other countries. The data used are from 2001, or the latest available year. But as the timing of data reporting to WHO varies a lot, data from different years often have to be used. As more recent data are provided, rankings may change. Serbia and Montenegro is still referred to as Yugoslavia, because that was the name that pertained at the time the data apply. The map aims to reveal specific geographical patterns in the data, such as the east–west mortality gradient. Again, data from different years may have to be used, although 2001 is the most common year. The line char chartt shows health trends over the last 20 years, in different parts of the Region. Technically, it is difficult to present trends separately for each of the 51 countries on one line chart. On the other hand, had only the average trends for the whole Region been given, some important sub-regional differences in health trends would not have been visible. Therefore, sub-regional population-weighted averages for each indicator are calculated for three groups of countries, representing the trends in the eastern, central and western parts of the Region. The first (eastern) group consists of the 12 countries of the former USSR that now constitute the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The second (central) group is the 15 central and south-eastern European countries (CSEC) in rapid transition, including the three Baltic states. The third (western) group represents the western part of the Region, consisting of the 15 member states of the European Union (EU).

Technical notes
Unless otherwise stated, death rates are age-standardized death rates (SDR), i.e. the number of deaths per 100 000 people in a “standard” population. This facilitates international comparability by removing differences in rates caused by different population age structures between countries. The European standard population (see the table below) was used to calculate the SDR. The mortality rates used cover all age groups: those aged under 65 (so called premature mortality) or aged 25–64 (representing the working age). Readers interested in other or more detailed age groups may consult the European health for all database.

Demography
1. Demography Notes Population (p. 9) In mid-2002, the population of the 51 countries of the WHO European Region totalled 874.6 million. The six largest countries (the Russian Federation, Germany, Turkey, France, United Kingdom, and Italy) make up more than half of the Region’s population. The data are estimates published by United Nations Statistical Division. Natural population growth (pp.10–11) In the 1990s, the decline in the number of births and the increase in the number of deaths reached a cross-over point for several countries, mostly in the central and eastern part of the Region. Deaths now exceed births in the European Region as a whole. Age structure (pp.11–14) European countries generally have an ageing population. Every seventh person is aged 65 years or more and this proportion is growing while the proportion of children is declining. The ageing process is more advanced in the western part of the Region. The graphs are based on population data by age, as most recently reported by countries to WHO. Births (pp.15–18) Live birth rates are declining in European countries and this decline is particularly sharp in eastern, central and south-eastern parts of the Region. This is most likely due to the profound socioeconomic changes and economic crises in this group of European countries. The proportion of infants with low birth weight (below 2500 g) is growing throughout the entire Region. The worst situation seems to be in the central and south-eastern parts of the Region, although

Atlas of health in Europe low-weight births may also be high but underreported in some countries of the eastern part of the Region. While births to young mothers are most common in the eastern part of the Region, births to mothers over 35 years of age are most frequent in western countries. Abortions (p. 19) The legal requirements for abortion vary between countries. The dramatic increase in the average rate of abortions in the central and south-eastern part of the Region in 1990 was caused by a six-fold increase in the number of abortions in Romania after a change in the law.

Life and death
2. Life and death Notes Life expectancy (pp. 26–29) Life expectancy, or the average number of years that a newborn baby can expect to live if mortality patterns remain unchanged, is one of the most common measurements of the health status of a population. As it is calculated using mortality statistics, its accuracy depends on the accuracy and completeness of official national mortality data. The table on p.26 shows two different estimates of life expectancy. One is the conventional life expectancy based on reported official mortality statistics. The other estimate is calculated using special demographic techniques to counteract possible underreporting of deaths (see The world health report 20001 for details on methodology). Countries with the largest differences between these two estimates most probably have life expectancies well below the level calculated from official statistics. This problem occurs mainly in central Asia, the Caucasus and the Balkans, which were affected by armed conflicts and severe socioeconomic difficulties during the 1990s. Many countries’ national vital statistics systems (registration of marriages, births and deaths) were damaged. This should be kept in mind when comparing the life expectancy in these areas with other countries. The trends in life expectancy show a dramatic increase in the gap between the western and eastern parts of the Region. The average trend for the CIS is particularly complex, as it reflects the effects of both the anti-alcohol campaign introduced in the USSR in 1985 and the deep socioeconomic crisis of the 1990s. The same pattern can be seen in the cause-specific mortality trends: a relatively sharp improvement in 1985–1986, a sharp deterioration in the first half of the 1990s, a gradual improvement in 1995–1998 and a 1 The world health report 2000.

Atlas of health in Europe deterioration again in 1999–2000. The latest deterioration may have some association with the financial crisis that hit the Russian Federation and other CIS countries in the autumn of 1998. Disability-adjusted life expectancy (often also called healthy life expectancy) shows the estimated number of years of life expected to be lived in full health. These estimates were calculated by WHO using special techniques (see The world health report 20002 for details on methodology). Deaths from all causes (pp. 29–31) Mortality is gradually increasing from the western to the eastern part of the Region. The level of premature mortality (i.e. below 65 years of age) varies particularly dramatically. East–west differences in the mortality of the elderly population (i.e. those aged 65 years or over) are relatively less pronounced. Excess male mortality is presented as the ratio of male death rates to female death rates on the left side of the bar charts on pp. 30–31. Particularly high premature male mortality in eastern countries makes the largest contribution proportionally to the east–west gap in total mortality. Infant deaths (pp. 32–33) Infant mortality shows the number of deaths of children under 1 year of age per 1000 live births. Unfortunately, some countries cannot ensure the complete registration of infant deaths and live births, in accordance with the WHO definition of live births. The infant mortality rates they report are therefore lower than they actually are and intercountry comparisons should be treated with caution. As mentioned above, particularly high levels of under-registration occur in central Asia and the Caucasus, and possibly in countries of the former Yugoslavia and Albania. Special household surveys carried out in the 1990s by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in some of these countries produced much higher estimates of infant mortality rates 2

Life and death than the official figures based on national vital statistics systems. For example, differences between reported infant mortality and survey-based estimates were: for Azerbaijan 19.9 vs. 79.0, Kazakhstan 25.2 vs. 61.9, Tajikistan 47.0 vs. 89.0, Uzbekistan 30.7 vs. 43.5, Kyrgyzstan 29.1 vs. 66.2.3 Although, for methodological reasons, survey-based estimates are not directly comparable with registration-based data, these differences indicate the possible size of under-registration. Infant mortality is higher in the eastern part of the Region, with the highest levels in some south-eastern countries. Given the likely under-registration, the real infant mortality in these countries is probably even higher. Perinatal deaths (p. 34) The rate shows the number of deaths of fetuses weighing 1000 g or more and of newborn babies aged 0â&#x20AC;&#x201C;6 full days per 1000 births (live and stillborn). Where weight-specific data were not available, calculations were based on the data provided by countries whatever the national criteria. Maternal deaths (pp. 35â&#x20AC;&#x201C;36) A maternal death is the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of the end of a pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management. Maternal mortality (deaths per 100 000 live births) was calculated using mortality data from routine vital statistics reported to WHO and hospital data reported by ministries of health, taking the larger figure where they differed. Even in countries with good vital statistics systems, however, maternal mortality is believed to be higher than reported. WHO, UNICEF and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) have estimated that maternal mortality in these countries may actually be some 50% higher.4 The drop in the average rate in the central and south-eastern part of the Region in 1990 is attributable to the sharp reduction in 3 4

Atlas of health in Europe maternal mortality in Romania after the change in the anti-abortion law. Deaths by cause and age (p. 36) The importance of specific causes of death differs significantly in the different phases of the life span. Respiratory and some other diseases are leading causes of death in childhood, replaced by accidents and other external causes of death among adolescents and young adults. Cancer and diseases of the circulatory system become leading causes of death in older age groups. Deaths from diseases of the circulatory system (pp. 37–41) The average trends in mortality from these diseases show a decline in the western and central parts of the Region. The average for the CIS shows the specific trend pattern noted under life expectancy during the 1990s. A clear east–west gradient contributes a large part of the east–west difference in total mortality and life expectancy. The patterns of trends and differences in death rates from ischaemic heart diseases and cerebrovascular diseases are similar to those for all diseases of the circulatory system. Deaths from cancer (pp. 42–49) Trends in cancer death rates show some general improvement in the EU and the CIS, while in the central part of the Region the overall situation is deteriorating. The average cancer mortality in western countries is relatively low in younger age groups and relatively high among the older population. The opposite is true in the CIS while, in the central part of the Region, mortality is high in both younger and older age groups. Female mortality from lung cancer is steadily increasing in the western and central parts of the Region. Deaths from external causes of injury and poisoning (pp.50–54) External causes of death from injury and poisoning include accidents, homicide, suicide and other causes that are not diseases. A remarkable increase in mortality in the eastern part of the Region, in the first half of the 1990s, is attributable to the

Life and death combined effect of the end of the anti-alcohol campaign that started in the USSR in 1985 and the socioeconomic crisis of the 1990s. Deaths from diseases of the respiratory system (pp. 55â&#x20AC;&#x201C;56) Generally, there is a downward trend in all parts of the Region. The average for the CIS follows the specific trend pattern described above for diseases of the circulatory system and for life expectancy. Deaths from diseases of the digestive system (pp. 57â&#x20AC;&#x201C;58) Deaths from chronic liver disease and cirrhosis are responsible for about half of all deaths from this group of diseases. Mortality is steadily declining in the western part of the Region and is stable or slightly increasing in the central part. The average for the CIS follows the specific trend pattern as described above for diseases of the respiratory and circulatory systems, and for life expectancy.

Diseases
3. Diseases Notes Tuberculosis (pp. 61–62) The figures present rates of newly diagnosed tuberculosis cases, including relapses, of all forms and in all organs. Syphilis (pp. 65–66) Syphilis is considered a good indicator of the trends in all sexually transmitted diseases. In the 1990s, the eastern part of the Region suffered an epidemic-like increase in the incidence of syphilis. HIV/AIDS (pp. 67–69) The data for HIV/AIDS are collected by the European Centre for the Epidemiological Monitoring of AIDS in Paris (a UNAIDS/WHO collaborating centre on AIDS). While the AIDS data for the most recent years are adjusted for reporting delays, the data for HIV infections are as reported by countries. Reported new HIV infections have increased dramatically in some countries in the eastern and central parts of the Region, particularly in the Russian Federation and the Baltic states. Cancer (pp. 72–74) The right side of each bar chart shows the number of people newly diagnosed with cancer during the given year per 100 000 population. Data sources are usually national cancer registers. The incidence of lung cancer is clearly correlated with the death rate. This correlation is less clear in the case of female breast and cervical cancer. Hospital discharges (pp. 75–83) The rates represent the total number of patients per 100 000 population discharged from all hospitals (including through death) during the year, categorized by the principal diagnosis. The intercountry comparability of hospital discharge data is limited,

Atlas of health in Europe owing to the differences in how hospital data collection systems are organized in different countries, and the differences in health care systems in general. Particular caution should therefore be applied when discharge data are used as an estimate of morbidity. Teeth (p. 84) The average number of decayed, missing or filled teeth among 12year-old children is the commonly used index to assess the oral health situation. The data are collected by the WHO oral health programme and the WHO Collaborating Centre for Education, Training and Research in Oral Health, at Malmรถ University, Sweden.

Lifestyles and environment
4. Lifestyles and environment Notes Smoking (pp. 87â&#x20AC;&#x201C;88 ) Countries estimate the percentage of regular daily smokers aged 15 years and over on the basis of health interview surveys. The tobacco-free Europe programme, at the WHO Regional Office for Europe, collates the data. Most of the estimates are based on multiple sources, however, and population samples are not always representative of a whole country. Intercountry comparisons should therefore be made with caution. Smoking prevalence among young people (15-year-olds) is estimated in a more uniform way across the European Region, through the WHO Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Study. The Study does not collect data for all countries, however. Average cigarette consumption is estimated on the basis of data published by the Tobacco journal international. Alcohol (pp. 89â&#x20AC;&#x201C;91) The data show the estimated amount of pure ethanol consumed in the form of spirits, wine, beer and other alcoholic drinks, per person per year. This estimate is calculated from official statistics on local production, sales, imports and exports, taking into account stocks and home production whenever possible. The alcohol and drugs programme, at the WHO Regional Office for Europe, collects data and makes calculations mainly from three sources: World drink trends (published regularly by Productschap voor Gedistilleerde Dranken, Schiedam, Netherlands), the FAO and data reported directly by countries. In the Republic of Moldova, and probably in some other countries too, the total consumption of alcohol, particularly spirits, is likely to be somewhat overestimated, owing to the low reported export

Atlas of health in Europe figures. As no data were available on stocks, it was assumed that all spirits produced and not otherwise accounted for were â&#x20AC;&#x153;consumedâ&#x20AC;?. Foodborne disease (p. 92) Infections or intoxications due to microbiologically contaminated food include such diseases as trichinellosis, salmonellosis, and Campylobacter enteritis. National definitions and registration practices vary significantly, therefore intercountry comparability is limited. Work-related deaths (pp. 93â&#x20AC;&#x201C;94) The data source is the ILO. Motor vehicle traffic accidents (p. 95) The main data source for accidents is Statistics of road traffic accidents in Europe and North America regularly published by the UNECE, in Geneva. Data on deaths from traffic accidents come from the WHO mortality database. Traffic accident registration practices vary significantly among countries, thus limiting international comparisons. The available data show that the number of registered accidents per 100 000 population is lowest in the eastern and some central European countries, but the number of people killed per 1000 accidents in these countries is the highest. This correlation is most likely partially the result of incomplete registration of all accidents in these countries, but also of the really low traffic safety precautions in the eastern part of the Region.

Health care
5. Health care Notes Physicians (pp. 99â&#x20AC;&#x201C;100) The data show the number of practising physicians working in public or private health services. Not all countries report the data strictly according to the recommended definitions. Countries also differ in the way they compile national statistics on employment in the health sector. The number of physicians per head of population is steadily increasing in western and, to a lesser extent, in central parts of the Region. Previously high and increasing ratios in the eastern part began to decline in the early 1990s. Dentists (pp. 100â&#x20AC;&#x201C;101) The data include dentists who have completed university level studies in dentistry and are actually working in dental care. Nurses (p. 102) The data show nurses who have completed a programme of nursing education (either basic or at university level), and are qualified and authorized in their country to practice nursing in all settings for the promotion of health, the prevention of illness, the care of the sick and rehabilitation. The international comparability of statistics on nurses is particularly limited, owing to the variations in national definitions and practices. Hospital beds (pp.103â&#x20AC;&#x201C;105) The number of available beds includes beds in all hospitals, regardless of specialty. The main limitation on intercountry comparability is that some countries count nursing homes and similar institutions as hospitals while others do not.

A number of countries have seen a remarkable reduction in psychiatric beds. Inpatient hospital admissions (pp. 106–107) The inpatient hospital admissions rate is steadily increasing in western and central parts of the Region. Previously high rates in the eastern part dropped during the 1990s and averages for all three parts of the Region are currently very close. Nevertheless, the hospital admissions rates vary significantly from country to country. Caesarean sections (pp. 107–108) The number of Caesarean sections performed is increasing throughout the Region. The highest rates are currently in the western part of the Region, and the lowest in the eastern part. Childhood vaccination (p. 109) The data show the percentage of infants reaching their first birthday in the given year who have been fully vaccinated (with three doses) against diphtheria, and the percentage of children reaching their second birthday who have been vaccinated against measles. Health expenditure (pp. 110–112) The data source for OECD countries is the OECD health database. The remaining countries reported the data directly. Health expenditure in some of these countries, particularly in the eastern part of the Region, is likely to be underestimated, owing to the exclusion of the private sector and out-of-pocket payments. The health expenditure, both as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) and in international dollars (purchasing power parities expressed in US $ (US $PPP)) per person, varies significantly between countries. In the western part of the Region, expenditure is steadily increasing while in the eastern part it is stable or increasing much more slowly, thus further increasing the east–west gap.
