These each demonstrate an awareness of equity issues, although their impact on re-orienting the system to better support the disadvantaged remains to be seen. Socioeconomic inequities in risk factors for ill-health are also widening: for example, the difference in prevalence between the highest and lowest educated groups for obesity has increased from 10.2% in 1987 to 16.9% in 2010, equivalent figures for daily smoking are 17.9% and 27.7% (though smoking prevalence halved over that period). Unsurprisingly, people with less than ten years of education are more likely to have a longstanding and limiting illness (over 78% compared to those with 12 or more years), experience long-term restrictions in activity due to illness (more than 118%), and experience work cessation due to illness (more than 178%) than people with 12 or more years of education, while higher incomes have been shown to predict longer life expectancy in Denmark, as elsewhere.
