Report: Health Situation of Women in Germany (9.12.2020)

There are currently over 35 million adult women living in Germany. The interplay of additional factors such as age, education, occupation, income, family situation and cultural background all contribute to their highly diverse life situations. All of these factors also have an influence on health. In the way that their social circumstances are highly diverse, the same is true for the health situation of women. Our report ‘Health Situation of Women in Germany’ presents comprehensive and up-to-date information on the health status, health behaviour and health care of women in Germany. We report on women of all age groups including one chapter on girls’ health. The report has been prepared by Federal Health Reporting (GBE) in cooperation with numerous colleagues from the Robert Koch Institute’s (RKI) Department of Epidemiology and Health Monitoring. Many external experts and colleagues from other departments of the RKI contributed additional texts and reviews.
