    Abstract Introduction: Despite the improvements in European health systems, a large number of premature deaths are attributable to treatable mortality. Men make up the majority of these deaths, with a significant gap existing between women and men's treatable mortality rate in the EU.
    Aim: This study aims to identify the healthcare-related factors, including health expenditures, human and physical resources, and hospital services use associated with treatable mortality in women and men across European countries during the period 2011-2019.
    Methods: We use Eurostat data for 28 EU countries in the period 2011-2019. We estimate a panel data linear regression with country fixed effects and quantile linear regression for men and women.
    Results: The results found (i) differences in drivers for male and female treatable mortality, but common drivers hold the same direction for both sexes; (ii) favorable drivers are GDP
    Conclusion: Policy recommendations may arise that involve an improvement in hospital bed management and the design of more specific policies aimed at healthcare professionals.

    Abstract Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic the utilization of health services has changed. People were living in a very different social, economic and epidemiological context. Unmet health care is expected to happen. The purposes of this work are i) to compare the differences between unmet care across countries, ii) to find the main factors which are associated with unmet health care, which includes giving up and postponing medical care, as well as denial of medical care provision by the health services, and iii) to determine if health systems' characteristics and government decisions on lockdown were related to unmet care.
    Methods: We have used the most recent dataset collected by the SHARE-COVID Survey during the summer of 2020. These data cover all EU countries and are applied to people over 50. We have estimated a set of logistic regressions to explain unmet health care.
    Results: The results indicate that women, people who are slightly younger, with higher education and income, who find it hard to make ends meet each month, and people with poorer health were more likely to experience unmet health care. We also found that in health systems with high out-of-pocket payments people are more likely to give up health care while in countries with previous high levels of unmet health needs this likelihood was the opposite; people in countries with a high number of beds per capita and with a Beveridge-type health system were reporting less postponement of health care.
    Conclusion: Some policy measures may be suggested such as social and economic measures to mitigate loss of income, expansion of the points and forms of access to health care to improve utilisation.

  7. Article: Life expectancy at 65, associated factors for women and men in Europe.

    Abstract In Europe, the epidemiological transition has already taken place, while the demographic transition continues. Life expectancy at 65 is expanding for both women and men. The primary aim of this work is to identify the factors associated with life expectancy at 65 for women and men in Europe. The second aim is to confirm the influence of cultural factors on life expectancy. Finally, the link between spending on pensions, soil pollution, and life expectancy is also tested. Data for 31 European countries for the period 2004-2018 have been collected to estimate a linear panel data model. Life expectancy at 65 for women and men is the dependent variable. Independent variables are grouped into socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental conditions. The main result of this work is the importance of GDP per capita, and education and pension expenditure in explaining the heterogeneity of life expectancy at 65 across countries. Other significant results include the association of cultural characteristics, air pollution, and soil pollution with life expectancy. The design of policies for older adults and the improvement of their health and active life should consider not only differences in education but cultural characteristics, too. European directives that disregard people's cultural differences may not have the expected result.

  8. Article ; Online: Voluntary private health insurance demand by Portuguese seniors before the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Abstract Aims: The Portuguese health system is mainly described as a National Health Service (NHS), but it also has some Bismarckian features. On top of these two layers of health insurance coverage, there is a market for voluntary private health insurance (VPHI). Usually, seniors are not eligible for this type of health insurance and this may serve as a complement or supplement to the NHS. The purpose of this work is to identify the main factors associated with holding a VPHI policy among seniors before the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Material and methods: We use data collected by the National Health Survey of 2019/20 and estimate a multivariate logistic regression.
    Results: The main findings show that VPHI may be bought by seniors as a facilitator to access health care, either specialised or dental care. While oral health is not covered by the NHS, specialist care is only available after referral by a gatekeeper and requires a long waiting time to be scheduled. Results show that people who had an appointment with a dentist or a specialist in the last 12 months are more likely to have a VPHI policy. Additionally, it was found that people benefiting from occupation-based insurance schemes are less likely to buy private health insurance.
    Conclusion: The current Portuguese health system organization based on different layers of health protection raises some issues concerning equity to health care access by seniors.

    Abstract Portugal has some peculiar features concerning older age. Despite long life expectancy, the share of healthy life years in older ages is small. The decreasing relationship between age and life satisfaction in Portugal has recently been pointed out. The absence of knowledge about self-assessed health and life satisfaction of the population of older Portuguese motivates this analysis. This work aims to find the drivers of self-assessed health and life satisfaction and their relationship for older Portuguese (older than 70). Two ordered logistic regressions are estimated using data from the National Health Survey of 2019. Endogeneity of self-assessed health is tested in the regression of life satisfaction. The main descriptive result shows that older people in Portugal tend to report a low health status but a high level of life satisfaction. We also found that despite the general decrease across age and after controlling for determinants, life satisfaction seems to display a U-shape, and the likelihood of being life satisfied increases with age from the age group of 70-74 on. The main determinants of self-assessed health and life satisfaction include the existence of chronic diseases, physical limitations in daily life, and depression indicators. But the findings also show that social interactions and income play a part in the way people report health and life satisfaction. Some policy measures could be taken to jointly improve the health and life satisfaction.
