This chapter addresses the results of the second Dutch National Survey of General Practice (DNSGP-2)
with regard to differences in health and lifestyle according to age, socio-economic status, and
working status in recent years. First, disparities in health and lifestyle will be presented, and
secondly disparities according to age, socio-economic status and working status will be further
elaborated upon. Sex, ethnic origin, and urbanisation level will be included in the description of
the results where relevant. Also, comparisons with 1987 (based on the results of the DNSGP-1) are
made, where possible. Besides presenting recent results on the health and lifestyle disparities in
the Netherlands, we explored how these results relate to previous Dutch studies. (aut. ref.)
