Majority of the data is obtained from the ExpoFacts database http://expofacts.jrc.ec.europa.eu and the original references are listed there. In addition some other data sources have been used and those are listed in the References section. A method collected extraction from a surrogate country was used to fill in the data gaps for some countries. This means that data available from the nearest country was used in case of not having any national data. This way values can be provided for each European country. The used surrogate countries are listed in the data table. The data is provided for various age categories and for both genders with the information on the distributions (mean and SD).

Data

Majority of the data is obtained from the ExpoFacts database http://expofacts.jrc.ec.europa.eu and the original references are listed there. The information is provided for the following age categories: 0-1 years, 1-2 years, 3-8 years, 9-14 years and 15-64 years. Some exceptions for this categorization are listed below. Data is provided for both genders and with information on distributions (mean and SD).

Exceptions for the age categories:

  • Netherlands, 1-2 is 1.5-13.5 months
  • Netherlands, 3-8 is 2.5-9.5 years
  • Belgium, 15-64 is 18-75 years
  • Bulgaria, 15-64 is 15-70 years
  • Germany, 15-64 is 15-79 years
  • Hungary, 15-64 is 15-75 years
  • Ireland, 15-64 is 18-94 years
  • Italy, 15-64 is 15-95 years
  • Sweden, 15-64 is 16-64 years

For some countries and age classes there was no national information found, and in these cases the information available from the nearest country (defined by location) was used. The used surrogate country is mentioned in the data table.
