When asked how they would evaluate their health status, approximately five percent of male Brazilian respondents claimed to have a poor health status in 2023, up from around 3.7 percent of the men surveyed two years earlier. This figure was lower than the share of Brazilian female respondents who also claimed to have a poor health condition, which reached seven percent that same year.
