The 2022 edition of Health at a Glance: Europe examines the key challenges European countries must address to develop stronger, more resilient health systems following the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes a special focus on how the pandemic has affected young people’s mental and physical health. The report emphasises the need for additional measures to prevent the COVID-19 pandemic from scarring a generation of young people. This edition of Health at a Glance: Europe also assesses the pandemic’s disruption of a wide range of health services for non-COVID patients, as well as the policy responses European countries deployed to minimise the adverse consequences of these disruptions. It also addresses a number of important behavioural and environmental risk factors that have a major impact on people’s health and mortality, highlighting the need to put a greater focus on the prevention of both communicable and non-communicable diseases.

Sažetak

Pandemija je dramatično utjecala na živote ljudi u Europi i svijetu. Zbog nje se 2021. očekivani životni vijek u EU-u smanjio za više od godinu dana u usporedbi s razdobljem prije pandemije, što je najveći pad zabilježen u većini zemalja EU-a od Drugog svjetskog rata. Do kraja listopada 2022. u 27 zemalja EU-a zabilježeno je više od 1,1 milijun smrtnih slučajeva uzrokovanih bolešću COVID-19. To je, međutim, konzervativna brojka s obzirom na to da statistički podaci o prekomjernoj smrtnosti upućuju na dodatnih 300 000 smrtnih slučajeva koji su izravna ili neizravna posljedica pandemije. Više od 90 % preminulih od bolesti COVID-19 bile su osobe starije od 60 godina. Smrtnost od bolesti COVID-19 bila je najmanja u nordijskim zemljama (Island, Norveška, Danska i Finska), a najveća u zemljama srednje i istočne Europe (Bugarska, Mađarska, Hrvatska, Češka, Slovenija, Latvija i Rumunjska).
