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.
