The Danish health system generally provides good access to high-quality care, with comparatively low levels of unmet need for medical care. Challenges remain to tackle important risk factors to health, such as excessive alcohol consumption and rising obesity rates and to improve care coordination for the growing number of people living with chronic conditions. Danes can expect to spend about 60% of this time beyond 65 in good health and free from disability (12 years r ,, for women and 11 years for men).
