Health at a Glance provides a comprehensive set of indicators on population health and health system performance across OECD members and key emerging economies. These cover health status, risk factors for health, access to and quality of health care, and health resources. Analysis draws from the latest comparable official national statistics and other sources.
Alongside indicator-by-indicator analysis, an overview chapter summarises the comparative performance of countries and major trends. This edition also has a special focus on the health impact of COVID-19 in OECD countries, including deaths and illness caused by the virus, adverse effects on access and quality of care, and the growing burden of mental ill-health.

Trends in life expectancy
Life expectancy has increased in all OECD countries over the past 50 years, but progress has slowed over the last decade. Furthermore, the COVID‑19 pandemic led to life expectancy falling in most OECD countries in 2020 (see Chapter 2 for an in-depth analysis of the health impact of COVID‑19).
