Years of collection, reference years, and sample sizes

Wave 1: data collected in 1987 with a sample size of 4,752 responses. Wave 2: data collected in 1994 with a sample size of 4,667 responses. Wave 3: data collected in 2000 with a sample size of 16,688 responses. Wave 4: data collected in 2005 with a sample size of 14,566 responses.

First year of collection

1987

Stratification if applicable

National sample

Base used for sampling

The population aged 16 and above including institutionalised citizens. A random sample is drawn for each round.

Geographical coverage and breakdowns

Covers all Danish regions

Age range

16 and above

Statistical representativeness

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%.

Coverage of main and cross-cutting topics

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).
