Unfortunately, the Danes score notably badly in terms of their health. According to a recent report from the World Cancer Research Foundation, they have the highest cancer rates in the world (326 cases per 100,000 people, compared with a still relatively high 300 in the United States, in seventh place). They also have the lowest average lifespan of any of the Nordic countries, and the highest levels of alcohol consumption, ahead even of the famously boozy Finns.
