In the countries listed above, there is a difference in life expectancy, both between men and women, and between people with higher and basic education. There is still an urgent problem of the prevalence of risk factors — smoking and alcohol consumption, while the level of physical activity of residents of the designated countries can be called high. The fight against risk factors in these States is carried out, among other things, through the implementation of screening programs. The digital transformation in healthcare in Austria, Belgium, Germany and Estonia is also intensifying. A significant part of medical data, including informational and educational materials, is now available to the public in digital format.</abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>public health</kwd><kwd>risk factors</kwd><kwd>healthcare abroad</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>общественное здравоохранение</kwd><kwd>факторы риска</kwd><kwd>здравоохранение за рубежом</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Dietscher C., Pelikan J.
