dc.description.abstractBackground: In Europe, the health situation is primarily influenced by non-communicable diseases. Comparable information on key indicators for the European region can highlight potential areas for improvement in prevention and care. Method: Based on EHIS 3, age-standardised prevalences of three disease groups and two indicators of self-assessed health among those affected were presented for Germany (n = 22,708) and the average of 29 European countries (n = 301,960). Results: The disease prevalence estimates in Germany were higher compared to the European average: diabetes 8.4 % vs. 7.4 %, cardiovascular diseases 6.8 % vs. 5.7 %, chronic respiratory diseases 11.4 % vs. 7.9 %. Likewise, the proportion with self-assessed very good or good general health among those affected was also higher in Germany (diabetes 35.8 % vs. 30.7 %, cardiovascular diseases 25.3 % vs. 18.9 %, chronic respiratory diseases 44.7 % vs. 41.9 %). For limitations in everyday activities, higher proportions were found in Germany for diabetes (65.6 % vs. 60.6 %) and chronic respiratory diseases (64.5 % vs. 57.6 %). Germany showed similar gender-, age- and education-specific differences for disease prevalence, but in part less pronounced differences for the indicators of self-assessed health than the European average. Conclusions: Further analysis of the differences for the indicators considered between Germany and the European average and the possible underlying factors, such as differences in prevention, diagnosis, disease severity and care, is required. The educational inequalities observed across Europe suggest considerable potential for promoting health equity.eng
