Resident’s Health Survey

Your Health matters: Join Luxembourg’s Resident’ Health Study

What is EHIS?

The European Health Interview Survey (EHIS) is conducted every six years across all European countries for residents aged 15 and older. This survey is developed in collaboration with Eurostat, the European Commission’s official statistical office, and includes different modules.

Luxembourg has actively contributed to EHIS, with over 4,000 participants in the 2014 and 2019 waves. This survey is mandatory for all European Union member states, as mandated by the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2529 of 17 November 2023. Results of the EHIS play a critical role in generating key health indicators, which are  published on the Eurostat website. These indicators support evidence-based policy-making and provide valuable insights into the health status, healthcare access, and lifestyle habits of the European population.
