Table explanation
This table provides data about the lifestyle and preventive behaviour of the Dutch population. It comprises the following aspects:
- smoking
- use of alcohol
- length, weight, people who are underweight and overweight
- use of contraceptive pill
- preventive research
- influenza vaccination
- physical activity
The data are based on the Health Interview Survey conducted by Statistics Netherlands. They can be broken down by a number of personal characteristics. The Health Interview Survey is a continuous survey. Its population consists of Dutch residents of all ages in private households.
This table has been stopped. From 2014 onwards a new table is started. See paragraph 3.
Data available from: 2010 up to and including 2013
Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are definitive.
Changes as of 5 April 2016
The figures of 2013 can now be broken down by income, wealth and prosperity.
Changes as of 8 April 2015:
The figures on physical activity have changed for the years 2012 and 2013. The calculation was not correct, causing the figures on the percentage of respondents meeting the Dutch Standard for Healthy Exercise to be too high. This was corrected.
When will new figures be published?
This table will no longer be updated. New figures can be found in table Leefstijl en (preventief) gezondheidsonderzoek; persoonskenmerken. See paragraph 3.
Description topics
- Alcohol consumption, 12 years and older
- The survey questions about alcohol consumption are put to persons aged 12 years or older.
- Drinks no alcohol
- Percentage of persons who do not drink alcohol at all. Refers to persons aged 12 years or older. In 2012 the phrasing of the survey question changed. In 2012 the question was: “Can you indicate which kind of alcoholic drink you occasionally drink?” The last answer category was ”I never drink”. A respondent who gave this last answer was classified as “drinks no alcohol”. From 2012 onwards the question is: “Can you indicate which kind of alcoholic drink you occasionally have been drinking in the last 12 months?” The two last answer categories were: “I used to drink alcohol, but in the last 12 months I did not drink any alcoholic drink.” “I have never drank alcoholic drinks.” A respondent who gives one of these two last answers is classified as “drinks no alcohol”. Due to these changes in de the phrasing of the question, the figures of 2010 and 2011 cannot be compared very well with the figures of 2012 onwards.
- Heavy drinker
- Percentage of persons who are heavy drinkers. Refers to persons aged 12 years or older. In 2010 and 2011 the definition of a heavy drinker was a person that drinks at least 6 glasses of alcohol on one day at least once a week. From 2012 onwards there is a distinction between men and women. For men still goes that a heavy drinker is a person who drinks at least 6 glasses of alcohol on one day at least once a week. For women goes that a heavy drinker is a person who drinks at least 4 glasses of alcohol on one day at least once a week. Due to this change in definition the figures of 2010 and 2011 cannot be compared very well with the figures of 2012 onwards.
- Excessive drinker
- Percentage of persons who are excessive drinkers. Refers to persons aged 12 years or older. For 2010 and 2011 goes that an excessive drinker is a person who drinks 21 glasses of alcohol or more a week. From 2012 onwards there is a distinction between men and women. For mean goes that an excessive drinker is a person who drinks more than 21 glasses of alcohol a week. For women goes that an excessive drinker is a person who drinks more than 14 glasses of alcohol a week. Due to this change in definition the figures of 2010 and 2011 cannot be compared very well with the figures of 2012 onwards.
