Ill/injured in an accident
In terms of the Microcensus of the Federal Statistical Office:An illness or accident injury occurs, when a person during the reporting period feels so impaired in his or her health, that they can not fully pursue their usual activity (for example playing or visiting the kindergarten for children, school attendance for children and adolescents, occupation for employees, domestic work respectively recreational activities for stay-at-home persons). It does not matter whether a medical practitioner was visited because of the injury. Independently of this impairment a disease always occurs, when in the reporting period a medical or non-medical practitioner made a diagnosis or gave a treatment. For long-term diseases (e.g. diabetes, high blood pressure) it is not crucial, whether the interviewee was affected in the practice of his usual activity or not. Also, a congenital disease or a disability is to be classified as a disease, if they are regularly treated medical. Pregnancy, delivery and puerperium are not counted as a disease; complications occurring in this context, which lead to a significant limitation of the usual activity or which require medical treatment, are however counted as a disease. Accidents are defined as sudden events, which cause an injury or other impairment of the health of a human (e.g. brain concussion from a fall). The questionnaire provides only one statement for disease or accident injury for each person. Therefore in case of concurrent injury and illness the interviewees must state the more serious impairment from their view.
