Why do Hungarians die early?
Change language:
Recent statistics show that the elderly constitute a smaller fraction of the population in Hungary than the EU average. Yet, the lifespan of Hungarians is shorter than what is typical of other nations in the EU. Read on for more details and some possible explanations.
Complications do not end with the defeat of the coronavirus – at least this is what the new Eurostat statistics imply, writes Növekedés.hu. The members of the EU will also have to face issues arising from negative demographic processes to varying degrees. The ageing population and the reduced willingness to bear children are among the most significant factors engendering such changes. The high percentage of the elderly in the population necessitates increased government expenditure. Additionally, the standard of living can only be improved by boosting productivity.
The recent data provided by Eurostat suggest growth in the number of people over the age of 65 in certain countries of the EU. The increase is estimated to be around 3%, and the average proportion of people aged 65 or over in each nation is approximately 20.6%.
The size of this age group is the largest in Italy in proportion to its population (23.2%), whereas Hungary is below the EU average, with 19.9%.
Not only they die early, they also seem to age poorly. Especially men. Many Hungarian men in their 60s looks like a Greek in his 80s or 90s.
I think the reasons are easy to guess: lack of phisical excercise, too much fat and meat in daily diet and obesity. Plus, too many smoke or drink too much ( or both )
To the Hungarian hater called “Mario” ! (The one who always makes anti Hun comments.)
If what you saying is true then why is Hungary one of the best sporting nation in this planet. Just look at the number of Gold medals they get in the Olympics!
Number of golds for Hungary at average equals to one gold to 1 million people. What can you say about your own?
You are a disparaging, slanderous paid blogging crap-hat!
Your right. Mario! All those reasons can be cured by the right Politics! ESPECIALLY SMOKING – It’s the easiest to cure but the hardest habit to break.
Talking about “per million: “Hungary NUMBER 1 in COVID deaths per million! Worldwide!
