Comment(s)

• Because the cases are weighted when percentages are calculated, there may be slight differences due to rounding as compared with other publications, e.g. "Gesundheit in Deutschland Aktuell" of the Robert Koch Institute. The differences generally amount to less than 0.1 percentage points.
• The educational levels are reported according to the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED).
• There was no survey in 2011.
