Self-reported chronic morbidity

The European Statistics of Income and Living Condition (EU-SILC) survey from Eurostat contains a small module on health, including a question on chronic (long-standing) illnesses or conditions. Data refer to the self-declaration by the respondents of whether they have or do not have a chronic (longstanding) illness or condition. From 2005 onwards the data are available for all EU25 Member States, Iceland and Norway. Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey and Switzerland launched SILC in 2006. Data are broken down by sex, age group, activity status, educational level and income
