The number of people in Ireland saying they are in good or very good health is in decline compared to pre-pandemic levels, along with an increase in people reporting long-term medical conditions.

Furthermore, almost one in five young people aged 15 to 24 regularly use e-cigarettes (18%) while almost a quarter of the population (24%) say they are binge drinkers.
