The Healthy Finland Survey provides comprehensive information on the health, well-being and service use of adults living in Finland. The data was collected in 2022–2024 using questionnaires and health examination measurements from mainland Finland and Åland. The results can be examined by age and gender as well as by the educational group and wellbeing services county.
The basic reporting of the results was carried out in stages. In spring 2023, indicators based on the 2022 questionnaire section were published by region in Statistics and Indicator Bank Sotkanet, in indicator tables and as a statistical report. Phenomenon reports were published online during autumn and winter 2023–2024 (only in Finnish). Press releases about the reports were also published in English.
During 2024–2025, a questionnaire survey was conducted in mainland Finland and Åland. The data collection and content of the questionnaire largely corresponded to the questionnaire section of the Healthy Finland Survey 2022–2023. The basic results were published on 15 May 2025 as a statistical report and indicators on the Sotkanet.fi service and indicator tables.
