Indicator 3: measures the proportion of women and men in a population who have died from cardio- vascular disease (ischemic coronary heart disease, stroke and other cardio-vascular diseases). The data behind this indicator are compiled from statistics based on the causes of death on death certificates, which all EU Member States are obliged to issue. A number of projects within the EU have worked on this indicator, including Eurosciss 1 and 2. In Eurosciss 2 work started 2003 on producing a list of European information sources, available indicators, and a description of the differences in methods of gathering data according to the recommendations set out in the European Community Health Indicators (ECHI II), which has an updated list of indicators for reporting cardio-vascular diseases in relation to age and region (Eurosciss 1 and 2 ECHI II). According to the Austrian report, cardio-vascular diseases are the most prevalent cause of death in the EU and represent more than 1.9 million deaths per year. Almost 32 % of all deaths in the EU in 2001 were caused by cardio-vascular disease (46 % of deaths among women and 39 % of deaths among men). Cardio-vascular disease is the most common cause of death among women in all EU countries. Ischemic coronary heart disease is the most common single cause of death in the EU; killing every tenth man and every seventh woman. Stroke is the second single most common cause of death in the EU, killing every tenth man and every eighth woman. 4.3.3 Trends emerging from EU-wide data. Data are available for 2006 from EU 25 countries (except IT and UK). There are great differences in healthy life years between countries for both men and women: the figures range from approximately 50 years minimum for men (EE) to almost 70 years maximum for women (MT) (figure 4.3.1). In more than half the countries, women have a higher HLY than men, with the greatest difference in Estonia and Poland, where women have 4 more HLY than men. Among countries where men have a higher HLY than women, the difference is largest in Portugal (2 years), followed by the Netherlands. In several countries the differences are small (figure 4.3.2). Analyses of trends over a certain time period are difficult to assess due to the methodological differences in collecting data. Another measure (available in Eurostat) is HLY at age 65, which assesses the health of the older part of the population and may give an idea of the future health challenges facing the EU MS as the proportion of their elderly citizens grows. 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 66 ANNEX DG G EN
Latvia had the greatest proportion of men and women with experience of unmet demands (figure 4.3.3). In a majority of countries the proportion of men and women with unmet demands varies between one and ten percent. In those Member States both men’s and women’s demands are met to the greatest extent in Slovenia,. In figure 4.3.4 the differences between women and men are further illustrated. In more than half of the countries the proportion of women is larger than the proportion of men with unmet demands; in seven countries the proportions are approximately the same, and in those four countries with the highest proportions of women with unmet demands the differences between the sexes are also the greatest. In Luxembourg the gap between the sexes is as large as in Poland – but reversed. When the reasons for unmet demands are introduced into the statistics mentioned above, an interesting pattern emerges. Among those who have forced reasons for their unmet demands, the proportion of women is greater than the proportion of men in almost all countries; but less than one percent for more than half the countries (figure 4.3.5) Among those who chose themselves not to have their demands met, the proportion of men was larger than the proportion of women in a majority of countries (figure 4.3.6). Here, too, the differences were mostly small. In all EU countries which presented data on the causes of death in 2006, a greater proportion of women than men died from cardio-vascular diseases (figure 4.3.7). Bulgaria was the country reporting the highest proportions of women and men dying from cardio-vascular disease (71 % of the women and 62 % of the men). The lowest proportions were found in France (31 % of the women and 26 % of the men). The differences between the proportions of women and men who die from cardio-vascular diseases are shown in figure 4.3.8. Among the five countries with the highest proportions of women dying from cardio-vascular diseases (figure 4.3.7), four had the largest differences between women and men (figure 4.3.8). 4.3.4 Trends emphasised in Member States' reporting to the UNECE In many EU countries preventive programmes addressing women’s health issues have been set up, such as screening for breast cancer, cervical cancer and for HIV infection among pregnant women. In a few countries, the vaccination of girls against HPV virus infections and future cervical cancer has been launched. Attitudes to contraception and legal abortion vary between countries, as do the laws and the investment of society in terms of allocating resources. 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 67 ANNEX DG G EN
