Dataset is not available.
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 March 14, 2024:
Data about 2023 have been added.
Figures about laughing gas have been added. The questions about nutrition have changed in 2023.
That is why a new series for nutrition will be started in 2023 and the old series of figures on nutrition (2014-2022) will no longer be added.
When will new data be published?
Data on reporting year 2024 will be published in the second quarter of 2025
Description topics
- Nutrition, 4 years or older, 2014-2022
- In the years 2014 to 2022, the questions about nutrition were asked to all people aged 4 years or older. The questions were about the consumption of fruit, vegetables and fish. As of 20232, the questions about nutrition have been adjusted and expanded. The old indicators are therefore no longer supplemented. Due to the change in questions, the figures on fish, vegetable and fruit consumption for the years before 2023 cannot be compared with the figures from 2023 onwards.
- Consumption of vegetables
- Persons are being asked for the consumption of vegetables in a regular week during the last months.
- Sufficient vegetables during 7 days/week
- Percentage of persons who eat at least 5 serving spoons of vegetables each day. This guideline applies to persons aged 14 years and over. For children aged 4 to 8 years, at least 2 serving spoons of vegetables per day are required and for children aged 9 to 13 years, at least 3 serving spoons of vegetables per day are required. One serving spoon of vegetables corresponds to 50 grams. The number of spoons corresponds to the recommended number of vegetables a day from the ‘Wheel of Five’ of the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. This standard originates from the Dutch Dietary Guidelines (November 2015) of the Dutch Health Council. The figures for 2014 and 2015 are based on the former dietary guidelines (in Dutch: Richtlijnen Voedselkeuze 2011) . The former guideline was different from the new guideline for people aged 14 and over: at least 4 serving spoons for people aged 14 to 70 years and at least 3 serving spoons for people over 71 years of age. The figures for the years from 2016 onwards are based on the new guideline. Due to the change in the guideline, the figures of the consumption of vegetables from 2016 onwards cannot be compared with those of 2014 and 2015 for people aged 14 years or over.
- At least 5 days/wk sufficient vegetables
- Percentage of persons who eat at least 5 serving spoons of vegetables at least 5 days per week. This guideline applies to persons aged 14 years and over. For children aged 4 to 8 years, at least 2 serving spoons of vegetables per day are required for at least 5 days per week and for children aged 9 to 13 years, at least 3 serving spoons of vegetables per day are required for at least 5 days per week. One serving spoon of vegetables corresponds to 50 grams. The number of spoons corresponds to the recommended number of vegetables a day from the ‘Wheel of Five’ of the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. This standard originates from the Dutch Dietary Guidelines (November 2015) of the Dutch Health Council. The figures for 2014 and 2015 are based on the former dietary guidelines. The former guideline was different from the new guideline for people aged 14 and over: at least 4 serving spoons for people aged 14 to 70 years and at least 3 serving spoons for people over 71 years of age. The figures for the years from 2016 onwards are based on the new guideline. Due to the change in the guideline, the figures of the consumption of vegetables from 2016 onwards cannot be compared with those of 2014 and 2015 for people aged 14 years or over.
- 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.
- Consumption of vegetables
- People were asked about the consumption of vegetables in a normal week in the previous months. The key figures for vegetable consumption come from the Food Consumption Survey (see table explanation).
- Sufficient vegetables 7 days per week
- Eats at least 250 grams of vegetables every day (from 14 years). Children aged 1 to 3 years should eat at least 50 grams of vegetables every day. Children aged 4 to 8 years should eat at least 100 grams of vegetables every day. Young people aged 9 to 13 should eat at least 150 grams of vegetables every day. These amounts correspond to the recommended amount of vegetables per day from the Dutch Nutrition Center. These guidelines are based on the Health Council Guidelines for a Healthy Diet (November 2015). The figures on vegetable consumption from 2023 cannot be compared to the figures for the years before 2023 due to a change in the question.
- At least 5 days/wk sufficient vegetables
- Eats at least 250 grams of vegetables at least 5 days a week (from 14 years). Children aged 1 to 3 years should eat at least 50 grams of vegetables on at least 5 days a week. Children aged 4 to 8 years should eat at least 100 grams of vegetables on at least 5 days a week. Young people aged 9 to 13 should eat at least 150 grams of vegetables on at least 5 days a week. These amounts correspond to the recommended amount of vegetables per day from the Dutch Nutrition Center. These guidelines are based on the Health Council Guidelines for a Healthy Diet (November 2015). The figures on vegetable consumption from 2023 cannot be compared to the figures for the years before 2023 due to a change in the question.
