For more than half of the regions, the synthetic indicator on lifestyles has decreased compared to 2020 – reads the report – denoting a reduction in behaviors at risk to health. The indicators on animal and food controls show, on average, an improvement compared to the 2019-2020 period. Screening indicators also improve, on average, compared to 2020.
