The Barcelona Public Health Agency (ASPB) has released new data concerning health in the city, providing a detailed overview of the sanitary situation across various geographical levels. The information covers general health in Barcelona, as well as specific analyses for districts, neighborhoods, and Basic Health Areas (ABS).
The ASPB's portal also features sections dedicated to different life stages, from childhood to older adults, including adolescence and adulthood. Furthermore, it offers information on how to live healthily, addressing topics such as physical activity, nutrition, addiction prevention, emotional well-being, sexuality, and breast cancer prevention, alongside information on vaccines.
Regarding environments that influence health, the agency details aspects related to family, housing, neighborhoods, schools, health centers, and work, as well as health in the city overall.
The epidemiology section provides information on communicable diseases, while the drugs and addictions section covers prevention, treatment for adolescents and adults, harm reduction, and Barcelona's drug information system.
Environmental health is another key informational pillar, with data on drinking water, climate change, air quality, facilities with risk of legionella, beaches, swimming pools, biocides, and other environmental risks. Topics such as tattoos, piercings, and micropigmentation are also addressed.
Food safety, urban pest control (mosquitoes, wild birds), and occupational health (monitoring diseases related to asbestos exposure and workplace risks) complete the ASPB's informational offerings.
The ASPB laboratory provides information on its analytical services, accreditations, and client area. Research and teaching also have a prominent space, with details on strategies, projects, scientific sessions, and grants.
Finally, the agency facilitates access to key data such as traffic injuries, sexual and reproductive health, mortality information, and health surveys, including the Secondary School Risk Factors Survey (FRESC).
