In 2005 a total number of 57,185 new cases of cancer (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) were diagnosed in Belgium. In general, cancer occurs more frequently in males (31,484) than in females (25,701). About one in three men and one in four women will develop a cancer before their 75th birthday.Cancer chiefl y affects older persons: approximately 62% of the females and 75% of the males are 60 years or older at the time of diagnosis. In 2005 a total number of 350 new cancer cases occurred in children (less than 1% of the cancers).The most frequently occurring tumour in males is prostate cancer, followed by lung cancer and colorectal cancer. In females the most frequently occurring tumours are breast cancer (more than one third of all cancers in women), colorectal cancer and lung cancer. A total number of 25,693 patients died from cancer in 2004 in Belgium, 14,659 males and 11,034 females. The major cause of death by cancer in males is lung cancer (about one third of all male cancer deaths) while breast cancer is the most frequent cause of death by cancer in females.Comparison with registration data from other European countries suggests that the incidence rates of breast cancer, head and neck cancer in females and prostate cancer are among the highest in Europe.Owing to improved registration techniques, it was possible to perform separate analyses on the data from all three Belgian regions. In general, the results were largely comparable between the regions. However for some tumour types, differences were observed. A higher risk for head and neck cancer was observed in the southwest of Belgium. A higher incidence of lung cancer was mainly observed in females in the Walloon and Brussels Capital Region.The evolution of incidence rates over the last 7 years period has only been described for the Flemish Region, because data from the other 2 regions were incomplete before 2004. Breast cancer and prostate cancer incidence have increased, mainly as a result of screening practices. Specifi cally for lung cancer and some subtypes of head and neck cancer a decrease in the sex ratio (M/F) over years was noted. Females are evolving towards the same risk as males in developing these tobacco-related cancers.In addition to standard tables and graphs, a geographical representation of the Belgian cancer incidence is included for the more common malignancies. The methodology (mapping of smoothed incidence for the whole country, with exception of the large cities where the agestandardised incidence is represented) was developed by the Finnish Cancer Registry.

Cette nouvelle publication réunit un ensemble de données portant sur la santé publique. Il s’agit entre autres de données sur le nombre de médecins , le nombre d’hôpitaux, le nombre de lits d’hôpital, le nombre de patients et le nombre de journées d'hospitalisation, sur le nombre de cas d’infection à VIH et de SIDA et sur le nombre de cas de tumeurs. La publication se termine par un survol de l’évolution, entre 1978 et 2000, des dépenses des ménages en matière de soins de santé, et par une présentation des dépenses moyennes des ménages en matière de soins de santé pour l’an 2000 (par type de dépense et par région) - chiffres provenant de l’Enquête sur le budget des ménages

Dit boek bouwt voort op een traditie binnen het CBGS : het opzetten en rapporteren van onderzoek naar de leefsituatie van ouderen. Een survey bij ongeveer 2500 thuiswonende personen tussen 55 en 90 jaar oud in Vlaanderen maakt hun leefwereld toegankelijk voor beleidsverantwoordelijken, studenten en onderzoekers.In het boek stellen de auteurs de verschillende aspecten van het dagdagelijkse leven van ouderen aan de orde. Leven ouderen alleen of samen met anderen en, met wie? Hoe is het gesteld met hun gezondheid? Wie draagt zorg voor wie en wat met de zorgpreferenties? Zijn ouderen actief of eerder passief? Met wie onderhouden ze contacten? Hoe wonen ze? Het zijn enkele vragen die ons hebben geleid bij de zoektocht naar het dagelijks leven in het licht van het centrale concept van ‘levenskwaliteit’ op latere leeftijd.De aanwezigheid in onze samenleving van een grote groep jongere ouderen wekt de indruk dat zij model staan voor de ouderen in het algemeen. Al blijven ouderen steeds langer ‘jong’ en zelfredzaam, ook minder actief worden en afhankelijkheid maken deel uit van het leven. In de slotbeschouwingen gaat bijzondere aandacht naar de paradigmawissel van een deficitmodel naar een competentiemodel en naar de implicaties van deze inzichten voor het ouderenbeleid.

very person aspires to a good life. But what does “a good or a better life” mean? This report looks at the most important aspects that shape people’s lives and well-being: income, jobs, housing, health, work and life-balance, education, social connections, civic engagement and governance, environment, personal security and subjective well-being. It paints a comprehensive picture of well-being in OECD countries and other major economies, by looking at people’s material living conditions and quality of life across the population. The report responds to the needs of citizens for better information on well-being and of policy makers to give a more accurate picture of societal progress.The report finds that well-being has increased on average over the past fifteen years: people are richer and more likely to be employed; they enjoy better housing conditions and are exposed to lower air pollution; they live longer and are more educated; they are also exposed to fewer crimes. But differences across countries are large. Furthermore, some groups of the population, particularly less educated and low-income people, tend to fare systematically worse in all dimensions of well-being considered in this report: for instance they live shorter lives and report greater health problems; their children obtain worse school results; they participate less in political activities; they can rely on lower social networks in case of needs; they are more exposed to crime and pollution; they tend to be less satisfied with their life as a whole than more educated and higher-income people.
