Description topics
- Alcohol consumption, 12 years or older
- The questions on consuming alcohol are asked to all persons aged 12 years or older.
- Drinkers
- Number of alcoholic beverages per day
- Average number of glasses per day per drinker of 12 years or older.
- Nutrition, 1 year or older, from 2023
- The questions about nutrition are asked to all people aged 1 year or older and cover the consumption of meat and fish, fruit, vegetables, sugary drinks, bread and snacks. The nutritional questions are thoroughly revised in 2023. Therefore the figures on fish, fruit and vegetable consumption for the years before 2023 cannot be compared to those from 2023 onwards.
- Food score, health survey
- The nutrition score is composed on the basis of partial scores on the following aspects of nutrition: consumption of meat and fish, vegetables, fruit, sugary drinks, brown or wholemeal bread, snacks and (from 12 years) alcohol. The nutritional score ranges from 0 to 10, a higher score indicates that the nutrition on the above aspects is more in line with the Nutrition Center guidelines. The score is divided into three classes.
- Average nutrition score
