Health statistics – Atlas on mortality in the European Union

This Atlas describes the mortality of the regions of the member States of the European Union, Candidate countries (except Turkey) as well as EEA/EFTA countries. We describe the European mortality by age and gender, by main causes of death and by 272 European regions. Levels of mortality indicate general levels of ill health, while causes of death provide useful information for an understanding ofthese differences in mortality levels. Different risk factors such as biological factors, lifestyle, smoking behaviour, alcohol consumption, and cultural or economic circumstances may cause the different mortality profiles. Differences in mortality across countries and regions indicate potentials for public health interventions in order to eliminate and control avoidable mortality in the future.
