Health 2000
Health 2000 aimed to provide an up-to-date account of major public health problems in Finland, their causes and treatment, as well as functional capacity and work ability in the population. The study was conducted in 2000 and 2001. The data for the survey were collected in interviews with almost 10,000 people and in comprehensive health examinations of 8,000 people. The target population of the Health 2000 Survey consisted of individuals aged 18 or over and living in mainland Finland. In addition to the household population, people living in institutions were included.
