– An analysis of the results of the Austrian Health Interview Survey
2019, carried out by Statistics Austria on behalf of the Ministry of
Health and the Federal Health Agency, aims to determine the influence
of living conditions and social status on personal health and health
behaviour. The main findings are that primarily education, but also
income or a foreign background do have an impact on health status and
behaviour. For example, a low educational level is frequently related
to health risk factors such as smoking and obesity or a poorer individual
assessment of personal health as well as the increased occurrence of
chronic back or neck pain.
