Life expectancy in Italy is among the highest across the OECD. Obesity rates are low (but growing for children); alcohol consumption, smoking rates and air pollution are all close to the OECD average. While indicators for access and quality of care are generally good, high rates of antibiotic prescriptions are a concern. Italy spends slightly less than the OECD average on health.
