Abstract:
The Lifestyle Monitor (LSM) was launched in 2013 on behalf of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sports to reorganize the multiple data collections in the field of lifestyle and health in the Netherlands. The reorganization should enhance the efficiency and coherence of the lifestyle and health data collections and should provide unambiguous figures for policymakers. This article describes the background and content (including the lifestyle-themes) of the LSM and the tasks and roles of the collaborating parties involved. The measurement methods used and requirements for data requests are described as well. Finally, some examples of figures and trends over the period 2014-2020 to underpin the health policy are described.
