Morbidity in the population and in general practice.
Linden, M. van der, Schellevis, F., Westert, G. Morbidity in the population and in general practice. In: G.P. Westert; L. Jabaaij; F.G. Schellevis. Morbidity, performance and quality in primary care: Dutch general practice on stage. Oxon: Radcliffe Publishing, 2006. 35-44
This chapter uses data from the second Dutch National Survey of General Practice (DNSGP - 2) to
describe the health status of the population and health problems presented to general practice in
2001. The results will be compared with data from the first Dutch National Survey of General
Practice (DNSGP-1), 1987. We conclude that the health status of the Dutch people has undeniably
changed during the last 15 years. More people than in 1987 reported having health problems,
especially locomotory symptoms, fatigue and sleeping problems. The demand for general practice care
has increased, but this has not resulted in an increase in the number of diagnoses. There is a
relative increase in the number of conditions of the skin and the locomotory tract presented to the
general practitoner (GP), but not of psychosocial problems. (aut. ref.)
