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 March 13, 2026
The 2025 figures have been added. The table has been expanded with information on diabetes (other than type 1 or type 2). As of 2025, the new topic "Neck disorder" will replace "disorder of the neck or shoulder", the new topic " Arthrosis, 12 plus " will replace " Arthrosis of Hip/knee 12 or older" and the new topic “Non-prescribed medicines, since 2025” will replace “Non-prescribed medicines (2014-2024)”. Besides that, the personal characteristic of poverty (classified as poor, near-poor and not poor or not near poor) has been added.
Within the characteristic 'position in household', the category 'other member of household' has been changed to 'member other household', because that is more correct and some minor textual changes are made in the explanations of the categories of positions in household.
When will new data be published?
Data on reporting year 2026 will be published in the second quarter of 2027.
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.
