Indicator history

According to data from the German Microcensus the morbidity rate has increased in general and for all groups between 2005 and 2009. During this period of time, the rate increased by 18 per cent for persons with a migration background and by 19 per cent for foreigners, whereas the rate for persons without a migration background increased only by 15 per cent. While the morbidity rate for the whole population with a migration background (12.1 per cent) is lower than the morbidity rate of the German population without a migration background (14.5 per cent), the population with a migration background has a higher morbidity rate among the middle and higher age groups.
