Households in lower income classes self-assess their health status worse than households in higher income classes, but in general, the self-assessment of the health status of Slovenian residents is relatively high. In 2019, a good third of adults in Slovenia (from 18 to 64 years inclusive) were overweight and almost a fifth were obese. Obesity is increasing, which is on the rise among the oldest, but also among children. According to the quantitative recommendations of a healthy plate, not enough (especially fresh) vegetables are consumed (only 1/3 of the recommended amounts), while fruit is satisfactory.

The health and well-being of people are closely related to the state of the environment: the quality of air, water and fertile land for food production. The economic situation of households is also important for good health.
