Healthy Finland Survey
Healthy Finland 2022–2023 was a nationally representative survey of the adult population aged 20 years and older. The data was collected in 2022–2023 from mainland Finland and Åland. Data were collected using questionnaires, health examinations, interviews and laboratory analyses and complemented with extensive individual-level register linkages. The survey covered a wide range of topics such as longstanding illnesses, mental health, quality of life, functioning, work ability, lifestyles, environmental health, and risk factors for major health problems, as well as the need and use of health and social services. Individual linkage between survey and register data allows ongoing, annually updated register-based follow-up for the Healthy Finland cohort.
