Table explanation
This table contains data on the perceived state of health and on contacts with providers of medical care of the Dutch population from 0 years on in private households. These data can be grouped by several personal characteristics. For several topics a different age demarcation applies. The age boundaries are listed at the relevant topics.
Data available from: 2014
Status of the data: final.
Changes by April 3, 2025:
Data about 2024 were added.
The table has been expanded with a number of new variables.
In addition to the percentage of people with (very) good perceived health, the percentage of people who answer fair and (very) bad to the question about perceived health is now also shown.
The percentage of people who answer fair and (very) bad to the question about perceived oral health has also been added for perceived oral health. In addition, information about oral complaints (toothache and bleeding gums) has been added for people aged 12 years or older. Information about functional complaints has been added for people aged 65 years or older (chewing food and swallowing food).
Information about brushing teeth/molars and information about flossing, using a toothpick, and brushing for people aged 1 year or older has been added. Finally, a variable "Contact dentist and/or dental hygienist" has been added and 'Contact dental hygienist' is now shown for the entire population and no longer for people aged 12 years or older. Figures on the average number of ‘OECD disabilities per person in the population’ and on the average number of ‘OECD disabilities per person with at least 1 disability’ for education level, income and wealth in 2014 were corrected.
Changes by November 12, 2024:
The subject folder 'Mental Health Inventory (MHI-5), 12 plus' was added. There are two topics within this folder. Firstly, the new topic 'feelings of anxiety or depression, 4 wks'. Secondly, the topic 'psychological distress, past 4 weeks'. The latter topic could previously be found in this table under the name 'psychological distress (MHI-5<60), 12 plus'.
Furthermore, the subfolder 'persons with GALI disabilities, 4 years or older' was added under the 'disabilities' folder. There are three topics in that subfolder. Firstly, the topic of 'GALI limitation'. This concerns the figures that could previously be found directly under the 'disabilities' folder under the name 'Persons with GALI disability, 4 or older'. Secondly, the new topic 'GALI disability, severe'. And thirdly, the new topic 'GALI disability, not severe'.
When will new data be published?
Data on reporting year 2025 will be published in the second quarter of 2026.
Description topics
- Medical contacts
- Persons are asked if they had contact with their GP, specialist, dentist, dental hygienist, orthodontist, physiotherapist, exercise therapist, psychologist, psychotherapist or psychiatrist, and if he or she is treated by alternative healer. Also, if there were hospital admissions or day care admissions. For children up to 12 years old, these questions are answered by the parent/guardian. Most questions after medical contacts are asked to persons of all ages. Contacts that do not often occur in the case of children are posed from an older age.
- Hospital admissions in last 12 months
- Hospital admissions are divided into:
- day admissions (without overnight stay)
- admission with at least one overnight stay
Hospital admissions in connection with delivery or birth are excluded.- Overnight stay
- Percentage of persons in the population who at least once, at least one night, has been admitted in the hospital or a clinic during the 12 months preceding the interview.
- Day admission
- Percentage of persons in the population with at least one day admission in the 12 months preceding the interview. Day admissions are hospital admissions without overnight stay e.g. for planned minor surgery, exploratory/keyhole surgery, chemotherapy or radiation treatment.
