Health at a Glance 2023
OECD Indicators
Health at a Glance provides a comprehensive set of indicators on population health and health system performance across OECD members and key emerging economies. These cover health status, risk factors for health, access to and quality of healthcare, and health system resources. Analysis draws from the latest comparable official national statistics and other sources.
Alongside indicator-by-indicator analysis, an overview chapter summarises the comparative performance of countries and major trends. This edition also has a special focus on digital health, which measures the digital readiness of OECD countries’ health systems, and outlines what countries need to do accelerate the digital health transformation.

Environment and health
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges for present and future generations. It is linked to many different types of environment distress, including air pollution and extreme temperatures. Air pollution is already the most significant environmental health risk and a major cause of death and disability, and its future impact is likely to be even greater without adequate policy action. Projections have estimated that outdoor air pollution may cause between 6 million and 9 million premature deaths a year worldwide by 2060, and cost 1% of global gross domestic product (GDP) as a result of sick days, medical bills and reduced agricultural output (OECD, 2015[1]).
