Table explanation
This table provides data about perceived health and chronic disorders of the population of the Caribbean Netherlands aged 15 years and older. It comprises the following aspects:

These aspects are shown for the Caribbean Netherlands, and also for the islands Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba separately. Also breakdowns by sex, age and level of education are presented.
