Ireland ranks badly when compared to other countries for smoking, drinking, and obesity, the latest OECD "Health at a Glance" report shows.
The report highlights:
? Irish people consume more alcohol per capita than people in most of the OECD.
? Ireland has the highest proportion of adult smokers.
? Deaths due to cancer fell by almost 21 per cent, and deaths due to heart disease fell by 59.4pc between 1990 and 2011.
