Top 10 Healthiest Countries In Europe

By: Trademagazin editor Date: 2023. 01. 06. 09:40

A recent health study carried out by Snuff Store rated each European country on a number of different health factors, including life expectancy and obesity rates. Each country was given a score out of 10 for each factor, which was then totalled to provide a score on the health index. The higher the score, the healthier the country is.

Sweden came out on top, followed by Finland and Moldova.

The no.1 Scandinavian country has the second-highest life expectancy, of 83, and one of the lowest obesity rates. Sweden also has the lowest number of smokers in Europe.

Finland also has low obesity rates and high life expectancy (82). The Finnish are also some of the most physically active, with only 16% of the population being insufficiently active, according to the WHO.

Moldova has the second lowest obesity rates in Europe. These low levels could be put down to the percentage of the population that is insufficiently active, which according to the WHO, is the lowest in Europe.

There is a common thread amongst each of the top ten European countries for health – less alcohol, less tobacco, more exercise, and access to good healthcare. The supermarket industry could also contribute to the health of European citizens by providing better food choices and more affordable options when it comes to eating healthily.

The total list:

1. Sweden

2. Finland

3. Moldova

4. Belarus
