Description topics
- Perceived state of health
- Figures refer to answers to the question:
‘How do you assess your general state of health?’- Very good/good
- Percentage of persons of all ages who answered 'very good' or ‘good’ to the question concerning their general state of health.
- Less than good
- Percentage of persons of all ages who considered their general state of health: ‘acceptable’, ‘bad’ or ‘very bad’.
- Generic health indicator, 12+ years
- The generic health indicator consists of a summary measure (norm score) for physical health and a summary measure (norm score) for mental health. These norm scores are calculated for persons aged 12 years or older.
Figures refer to the so-called 'Short Format 12' (SF-12). This is a frequently used international standard which was developed in the United States by Ware et al. (1995).- Physical norm score
- The physical norm score is calculated for persons aged 12 years or older. It is a summary measure for physical health based on replies to various questions in the so-called 'Short Format 12' (SF-12), developed in the United States by Ware et al. (1995). The average physical health of the American population is exactly 50. Average scores of below 50 indicate poorer physical health than the norm population (American population) and values above 50 indicate better physical health. The average physical health of the Dutch population is slightly above 50.
- Mental norm score
- The mental norm score is calculated for persons aged 12 years or older. It is a summary measure for mental health based on replies to various questions in the so-called 'Short Format 12' (SF-12), developed in the United States by Ware et al. (1995). The average mental health of the American population is exactly 50. Average scores of below 50 indicate poorer mental health than the norm population (American population) and values above 50 indicate better mental health. The average mental health of the Dutch population is slightly above 50.

- MHI, 12 years or older
- 'Mental Health Inventory' (MHI) for adolescents (12 years or older) and adults.
The figures refer to the 'Mental Health Inventory 5' (MHI-5), an international standard for a specific measurement of mental health, consisting of 5 questions. The MHI-5 is an extract from the 'Short Format 36' (SF-36), an international standard for measuring health. All questions refer to the period of 4 weeks preceding the interview.
The following questions were asked:
1. Did you feel very nervous?
2. Were you so down in the dumps that nothing could cheer you up?
3. Did you feel calm and peaceful?
4. Did you feel depressed and down?
5. Were you happy?- Persons with poor mental health
- Percentage of persons aged 12 years or older scoring less than 60 in the MHI questionnaire. Possible answers to all questions in the MHI-5 are: 'permanently', 'mostly', 'often', 'sometimes', ‘seldom' and 'never'. The answers to the positive questions (3 and 5) were assigned the values 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0 respectively. The answers to the negative questions (1, 2 and 4) were assigned the values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 respectively. Subsequently, the sum scores per person were calculated and multiplied by 4. Thus, the minimum score is 0 (very unhealthy) and the maximum score is 100 (perfect health). Respondents scoring 60 or more were qualified as healthy, less than 60 as unhealthy.
