A chapter in The Sustainability of Health Care Systems in Europe, 2021, vol. 295, pp 23-42 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: We exploit the international comparability and the longitudinal dimension of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe to look at regional and cohort differences in disease prevalence across European regions. We find a significantly higher probability of reporting cardiovascular diseases among older Eastern European women than among other Europeans. Moreover, we observe a worsening in health conditions for younger cohorts.
