Latvia and Lithuania Have the Worst Pensioner Health in the EU (per Eurostat)
The Baltics are among the worst EU performers in terms of pensioner health.
In 2024, 68.5% of European Union residents rated their health as "good" or "very good". Of these, 8.5% considered it be "poor" or "very poor", and another 23.0% considered it "satisfactory".
The Baltics, however, rank at the bottom of the list.
Only 12.5% of older Lithuanians rate their health as good or very good, making it the worst result in the EU. Latvia is second last with 13.1%. Estonia ranks higher at 24.5%, on par with Slovakia and Hungary.
This is unsurprising due to ridiculously low pensions in the Baltics, which is compounded by largely inaccessible healthcare (due to poor funding and acute personnel shortages).
