Description topics

(Preventive) health examination
Examinations that a person can undergo (preventively) in relation to his or her health.
Blood pressure measurement, 16 or older
Persons aged 16 years or older were being asked: When has your blood pressure been measured by a health care provider, like a physician or a trained nurse, for the last time?
In 2017, the answer option ‘don't know’ was not visible in the period January to September for the respondents who completed the questionnaire via the computer. As a result, the percentage of people who filled in ‘don't know’ was low in 2017. This was restored in September 2017.
