Belgian life expectancy
Thu 17/07/08 16:25 - Since 2003 more children are being born in Flanders. Life expectancy is growing too. A boy that is born today has a life expectancy of 78 years. That's 2 and a half years longer than ten years ago. A newly born baby girl can expect to live for nearly 83 years. That's two years longer than in 1998. (AP) 55,700 people died in Belgium in 2006. One in two Belgians dies in hospital. Most seniors die as a result of cardiovascular problems. Suicide and lung cancer are the main death causes among young men. Among women breast cancer is the culprit. More and more women are having their breasts screened though. Flemish Health Minister Steven Vanacke "If all women had their breasts screened, then we could prevent 40% of all such cancers. We have to continue our campaigns, but I am heartened by the figures that show more women are being screened. The 75% target is not yet in sight, but we have to reach it." Suicide numbers are falling, but with over a thousand suicides in 2006 Flanders performs a lot worse than the European average. |

Suicide numbers are falling, but with over a thousand suicides in 2006 Flanders performs a lot worse than the European average. Suicide is legal there though, so it's going to show up in statistics. |

No suicide is illegal, if you are caught trying to commit suicide it's the death penalty for you. |
