Seen from Europe, the French display good health

The health of the French has constantly improved in recent decades. In addition, it is at an excellent level compared to other Western European countries, concludes a study published in February in the Lancet Regional Health. “Over the period considered between 1990 and 2019, life expectancy at birth in France has improved over time,” underlines Health Insurance, which relayed these results on Wednesday.

The study uses data from the Global Burden of Disease, a large program funded by the Bill Foundation.

Scientists nevertheless report weaknesses specific to France. If the main cancers remain less frequent than elsewhere, the country has made relatively little improvement in this area in recent decades. The study estimates in particular that France still has progress to make in reducing smoking, one of the main causes of cancer.

The study concludes on the need now to carry out work that takes into account the Covid period. Not only has this caused a significant number of deaths and illnesses, but the health restrictions taken in 2020 and 2021 have also contributed to affecting the smooth running of the health system.
