Possession of public or private health insurance among people interested in sports

The chart documents health insurance coverage among people interested in sports, broken down by six age groups. It distinguishes between statutory health insurance, private health insurance, and private supplementary insurance (survey conducted in July 2020).

Across all sports-interested respondents, 85% hold statutory health insurance and 15% hold private health insurance. Private supplementary insurance is held by 32% of this group overall. Age-related variation is visible across all three insurance types. Private health insurance reaches its highest share in the 25–34 and 65+ age brackets, both at 18% and 11% respectively — with the 25–34 group recording the highest private insurance share at 18%. Statutory health insurance peaks in the 25–34 age group at 90%. Private supplementary insurance is highest in the 35–44 and 65+ age groups, both at 36%, and lowest among 16–24 year-olds and 45–54 year-olds at 28%.
