Table explanation


This table contains data on life style of the Dutch population in private households. These data can be grouped by several personal characteristics.

Data available from: 2014.

Status of the data: final.

Changes by September 24, 2024:
The nutrition score is calculated based on various components.
For the component score for snacks, for children aged 1 to 9 years people, the cut-off point of persons aged 9 years and older were incorrectly used instead of the age-specific cut-off points. This has been adjusted. As a result, the figures for the total food score (high, medium, low and average nutrition score) changed slightly.

Changes by March 14, 2024:
Data about 2023 have been added.
Figures about laughing gas have been added. The questions about nutrition have changed in 2023.
That is why a new series for nutrition will be started in 2023 and the old series of figures on nutrition (2014-2022) will no longer be added.

When will new data be published?
Data on reporting year 2024 will be published in the second quarter of 2025
