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 sex and age. The Health Interview Survey is a continuous survey. Its population consists of Dutch residents of all ages in private households.

Data available from 2010 up to and including 2013

Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are definitive.

Changes as of 22 March 2018:
None, this table has been discontinued.

When will new figures be published?
Not applicable. This table has been discontinued. Figures from 2014 onwards can be found in other tables, see paragraph 3.

Description topics

Physical activity, 12 years or older

The Short Questionnaire to Assess 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.
For the years from 2012 onwards, some assumptions in the calculation of the subtopics within physical activity have been adjusted. This is done in consultation with the RIVM in the context of the Public Health Monitor 2012, a study in which physical activity is also required. Consequently, the figures on physical activity from 2012 onwards are not always comparable with the figures of the previous years.

Travelling between home/work,home/school: Average weekly number of minutes of physical activity during travelling between home and work or home and school (age: 12 years or older).

Activities in school or at work: Average weekly number of minutes of physical activity during activities in school or at work (age: 12 years or older).

Domestic activities: Average weekly number of minutes of physical activity during domestic activities (age: 12 years or older).

Leisure activities: Average weekly number of minutes of physical activity during leisure activities, e.g. walking, cycling, gardening or doing small jobs in and around the house (age: 12 years or older).

Total physical activities

Av. minutes p.w. total physical act.: Average number of weekly minutes of the total number of minutes spent on physical activities (age: 12 years or older).

Av. minutes p.w. light physical act.: Average weekly number of minutes spent on light physical activities. Respondents are in the age category 12 years or older. Physical activities are categorised according to age-specific values indicating the intensity, i.e. light, moderate or intense. Subsequently, the number of minutes is calculated each respondent spent on light physical activities.

Av. minutes p.w. moderate physical act.: Average weekly number of minutes spent on moderate physical activities. Respondents are in the age category 12 years or older. Physical activities are categorised according to age-specific values indicating the intensity, i.e. light, moderate or intense. Subsequently, the number of minutes is calculated each respondent spent on moderate physical activities.

Av. minutes p.w. intense physical act.: Average weekly number of minutes spent on intense physical activities. Respondents are in the age category 12 years or older. Physical activities are categorised according to age-specific values indicating the intensity, i.e. light, moderate or intense. Subsequently, the number of minutes is calculated each respondent spent on intense physical 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.
For the years from 2012 onwards, some assumptions in the calculation of the percentage of people that meet the Dutch Standard for Healthy Exercise have been adjusted. This is done in consultation with the RIVM in the context of the Public Health Monitor 2012, a study in which physical activity is also required. As a result, the percentages from 2012 onwards are not comparable with the rates in previous years.
