1987
National sample
The population aged 16 and above including institutionalised citizens. A random sample is drawn for each round.
Covers all Danish regions
16 and above
Nationally representative among Danish adults. 1987 response rate: 79.9%, 1994 response rate: 78.0%, 2000 response rate: 74.2%, 2005 response rate: 66.7%.
The purpose of the study is to monitor the prevalence of health, sickliness and functional limitations among the population and the factors that influence health and sickliness such as life style, and risk behaviour in work and private life. The study covers health and health behaviour (including attitude towards health promotion, food, exercise, alcohol, tobacco, preventing examinations, experienced health and life quality), sickness (including specific diseases, long term illnesses, symptoms and accidents), consequences of illness (including functional defects and physical limitations), social relations (including contact to family and friends, help from others in case of illness, leisure activities and whether they feel alone even though they would like to be with others) and work environment and living conditions (including psycho-social and physical work environment and whether exposed to noise or a bad indoor climate).

Data quality
N.A.
In 1987, data was collected only by face-to-face interviews, but in 1994, this was supplemented by self-administered questionnaires. In 1994 and 2000, Paper and Pencil Interviewing (PAPI) were used and in 2005, the survey used Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI).
Some of the basic questions are repeated each year and some changing topics are covered.
