Abstract
Since the triumph of medicine over infectious diseases, most causes of death in modern societies are related to lifestyle. There is a substantial social gradient in the state of health of European population. Throughout the continent, men usually die earlier than women. People with low socio-economic status, ethnic minorities and immigrants are at risk of low life expectancy and bad health. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic amplified existing health disparities. Health behaviour and environmental risks are primary with respect to disease emergence. The leading causes of death in the European Union are cardiovascular diseases, different types of cancer and respiratory diseases. The burden of disease could be diminished and healthy life years would increase if the population’s health behaviour was improved, literacy and its participation in screening programs enhanced, and vaccine compliance further encouraged.
