Summary/Abstract: A brief overview of the new elements in the field of data dissemination by Eurostat in some areas of public health statistics - statistics on causes of deaths as well as sample surveys of the health status of population is presented. The revised European standard population used by Eurostat since 2013 for calculation of standardized death rates is discussed. New, more detailed European harmonized shortlist, comprising 86 reasons in accordance with the International Classification of Diseases is used for production of comparable data at international level. The shortlist is developed for application of VIIIth, IXth and Xth revisions of the ICD, which allows comparison of data for a long period of time among the various countries. Some integrated indicators characterizing healthy life years, calculated and published by Eurostat, are also presented. The data sources are described and more recent data are presented. The article is prepared on the basis of a presentation made by the author at the first Demographic Situation and the Development of Bulgaria Demographic Forum organized by the Institute for Population and Human Studies, 26 – 27.02.2014 within the Working Group “Health, Life Expectancy and Mortality.“
