The datasets generated and analysed during the current study are stored in the eurohealthydata repository (https://eurohealthydata.uc.pt) and are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request. ; International audience ; on behalf of the EURO-HEALTHY investigators Abstract Background: Population health measurements are recognised as appropriate tools to support public health monitoring. Yet, there is still a lack of tools that offer a basis for policy appraisal and for foreseeing impacts on health equity. In the context of persistent regional inequalities, it is critical to ascertain which regions are performing best, which factors might shape future health outcomes and where there is room for improvement.
