Coverage
Wave 1: Data collected from 1960-1961 with a sample size of approximately 20,000 individuals.
Wave 2: Data collected from 1970-1971 with a sample size of approximately 20,000 individuals.
Wave 3: Data collected from 1980-1981 with a sample size of approximately 20,000 individuals.
Wave 4: Data collected from 1991-1992 with a sample size of approximately 20,000 individuals.
Wave 5: Data collected from 2002-2003 with a sample size of 17,000 households/41,000 individuals.
1960-61.
Random sample based on Census data and the Housing registry.
national
people aged 18 and over with a shorter questionnaire for children aged 11-17.
The EDS data allow for a detailed study of the topic Health & Performance, with questions dealing with perceived health, health-related behaviours (including dietary habits), health care consumption, quality of life, etc. With the 2002-03 wave, there are additional opportunities thanks to the linkage with the SNIIR-AM national database (which contains reimbursement data for health professionals visits and prescribed drugs, long-term diseases, hospital discharge records…).

Linkage
In 2002-03, some efforts have been made to increase the international comparability of the EDS data (with the introduction of some standard scales such as the CES-D for depression or the MOs SF-36 for quality of life. In the previous surveys, the international comparability was limited.

Data quality
As the survey was conducted every ten years, there have been many small methodological changes, especially after the first wave (1960-61).
The questionnaire also substantially changed over the time.

Applicability
Strengths:
- The Insee is the most reliable French institute in the field of data collection and analyses;
- These surveys make it possible (when data are comparable) to monitor the health of the French population over a period of 40 years; The sample size is big enough to guarantee a decent sub-sample of senior respondents (especially in 2002-03);
- Linkage with the SNIIR-AM database (in 2002-03).
Weaknesses:
- limited comparability from one survey to the other due to changes in methodology and questionnaire;
- data dictionaries and datasets are not available in English;
- there won’t be another Decennial Health Survey: it is replaced by ESPS (see corresponding document).
