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
- Physical activity, 12 years or older
- The Short Questionnaire to Asses Health enhancing physical activity (SQUASH) is part of the Health Interview Survey. This questionnaire was developed by the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM). The SQUASH aims to provide a complete picture of physical activity, e.g. frequency, duration and intensity of the following types of physical activities 1 activities during travelling between home and work or home and school 2 activities at school or at work 3 domestic activities 4 sports
5 other leisure activities.- Meet the healthy exercise standard
- Percentage of respondents meeting the Dutch Standard for Healthy Exercise. Respondents are in the age category 12 years or older. Physical activities are categorised in a standard table according to age-specific values indicating the intensity per activity, the minimal duration required and the number of days per week. The Dutch standard for people 12 – 18 years involves at least one hour a day of moderate exercise with MET value 5. The standard for adults is at least 5 days a week 30 minutes of moderate exercise with MET-value =4 (age 18-55 years) or with MET-value = 3 (age 55+). *MET-value: 1 MET equals the energy-consumption of a person in rest. Also 5 MET meets 5 times the consumption of energy of this standard resting metabolic rate.
