The local health survey was organised in various Flemish municipalities in 2018, 2020 and 2021. This page shows the results per municipality for a number of health indicators.
Results 2018-2021
How do you read the results?
The figures represent percentages or averages with their 95% confidence intervals. The latter should be seen as a possible margin of error on the given percentage or average. If there is no overlap between the confidence intervals of two municipalities for a certain measurement, we can say that there is a clear (“significant”) difference between the two. The figures also show the results for the Flemish Region from the national health survey 2018 (shaded bar). This makes it possible to see the differences between the municipalities and/or the region and also to see what the main concerns are for a particular municipality. This can serve as a guideline for local health policy. For support in this regard, local authorities can contact Logo (link is external). They provide guidance and methods to improve the health status of the residents.
The health indicators in the figures below were calculated for the population aged 15 years and older unless stated otherwise.
