Table explanation
This table contains data on life style of the Dutch population in private households. These data can be grouped by several personal characteristics.
Data available from: 2014.
Status of the data: final.
Changes by April 3, 2025:
Data about 2024 have been added.
Figures taking a fall course or fall training among people aged 65 and over were added and data about high risk sexual activity in the previous twelve months among people aged 16 and over were added.
Changes by September 24, 2024:
The nutrition score is calculated based on various components.
For the component score for snacks, for children aged 1 to 9 years people, the cut-off point of persons aged 9 years and older were incorrectly used instead of the age-specific cut-off points. This has been adjusted. As a result, the figures for the total food score (high, medium, low and average nutrition score) changed slightly.
When will new data be published?
Data on reporting year 2025 will be published in the second quarter of 2026
