Study Notes

Healthcare is one of the most important issues for voters in Denmark.
The Danish government spends a significant amount of money on healthcare, with 16.4% of the total public expenditure going towards it in 2018.
The increase in healthcare spending is due to advances in technology, allowing for better but more expensive treatments, as well as an aging population.
The improvement in public health over the years is attributed to factors such as increased food production, advancements in medical science, better hygiene, and the establishment of a healthcare system accessible to all citizens.
Lifestyle diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory diseases have become more prevalent in Denmark due to changes in eating habits, increased alcohol consumption, and smoking.
People with lower levels of education are at a higher risk of developing lifestyle diseases and dying earlier compared to those with higher education.
Laws have been passed to encourage healthier lifestyles, such as increasing the age limit for purchasing alcohol and tobacco, banning smoking in public places, and raising the price of cigarettes.
Smoking is the leading cause of disease and death in Denmark.
The average life expectancy in Denmark is 83.6 years for women and 79.5 years for men.
The average height of Danes has increased significantly since the mid-1800s.
