In 2023, 117,500 adults redeemed a prescription for a weight loss medicine. This corresponds to 2.4 per cent of the adult population. Weight loss medicines are mainly targeted at people with a BMI of at least 30, but what else characterises the users?, This analysis takes a closer look at the users of weight loss medicines, with a special focus on users in the first half of 2023. In the analysis, data on redeemed prescriptions is combined with information from Statistics Denmark’s registers. This allows, among other things, to examine the users’ sex, age, income, and municipality of residence.,  , Main conclusions:, The number and proportion of adults who have redeemed at least one prescription for weight loss medicines has increased significantly from 15,200 (0.3 per cent) in 2021 to 27,800 (0.6 per cent) in 2022 and 117,500 (2.4 per cent) in 2023. However, the number is still lower than 25 years ago when 131,100 adults (3.1 per cent) used weight loss medicines., The proportion of users of weight loss medicines is higher for women in all years. In the first half of 2023, 72 per cent of the users were women and 28 per cent were men., The proportion of users was highest in the age group of 50-59-year-olds (3.2 per cent) and lowest in the age group of 80-year-olds and older (0.1 per cent)., The proportion of users of weight loss medicines increases with income. In the first half of 2023, 1.6 per cent of the people in the lowest income quintile used weight loss med-icines, while it was about 3.4 per cent of the people in the highest income quintile - when using the equivalised disposable family income among the 30-59-year-olds., There is a difference in the proportion of users of weight loss medicines across municipalities. The highest proportion of users was in Tårnby (2.9 per cent), while the lowest proportion was in Læsø (0.8 per cent)., Gentofte municipality had the highest proportion of users of weight loss medicines in the first part of 2023 when the proportion is related to people with self-reported obesity in 2021. In Gentofte, there were 24.5 users of weight loss medicines per 100 people liv-ing with obesity, while in Læsø, there were 2.9 users per 100 people living with obesity.,  , The analysis is available in Danish here: , Hvem bruger slankelægemidler?, Get as pdf, Who uses weight loss medicines in Denmark?, Colophone, Who uses weight loss medicines in Denmark?, Subject group: People, Released: 6 May 2024 08:00, No. 2024:3, ISSN pdf: 2446-0354, Contact:, Emilie Rune Hegelund, Telephone: +45 20 56 47 11

Contact info, Prices and Consumption , Martin Sædholm Nielsen , +45 24 49 72 81 , MNE@dst.dk , Get documentation of statistics as pdf, Development in Rents (housing) 2022 , Previous versions, Development in Rents (housing) 2021, Development in Rents (housing) 2014, The statistics measure the development in rent (housing). The survey has been carried out since the 1950s. , Statistical presentation, The statistics show the development in rents before and after rent subsidies. The average development in rent before rent subsidies is used for the consumer price index and the average development in rent after rent subsidies is used for the index of net prices., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The rent survey is based on a sample of privately owned rented dwellings, social rental housing and cooperative dwellings. The rent development for the social rental housing is based on administrative data from Landsbyggefonden and thus covers the entire population of social rental housing. Privately owned rented dwellings are covered by a sample of approx. 110,000 (only approx. 85,000 for 1. quarter of 2022) for dwellings out of a population of approx. 500,000 privately owned rented dwellings. Cooperative dwellings are covered by a sample of approx. 600 dwellings. , Social rental housing and private rental housing as well as cooperative housing each amount to almost half of the total rental housing market whereas cooperative dwellings account for approx. 10 per cent., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The statistic measures the development in rent (housing). , The statistic is primarily used in calculating sub-indices in the consumer price index, the index of net retail prices and the harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP). Development in rent is used as an indicator for price development for rented dwellings and for regulating (indexation) rent contracts.s., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, It is not possible to quantify the uncertainty in the rent survey, as the sample behind is not randomly drawn . However, for social housing, the statistics are based on the population of social housing, which is why there is no uncertainty here. For the private rental homes, the sample consists of approx. 110,000 (only approx. 85,000 for 1. quarter 2022) rental homes out of a population of approx. 500,000 rental housing, so here there is limited sample uncertainty. Cooperative dwellings are covered by a sample of approx. 600 dwellings, so here there is sample uncertainty., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The consumer price index including the rents index is published on the 10th or the first working day thereafter, following the month in which the data was collected. , The statistics are published without delay in relation to the scheduled date., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics have been compiled in the same way since 1982. The rent survey is directly comparable with similar rent-indices from other countries' EU harmonized consumer price index (HICP)., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, Figures for the rent survey can be found in the statistics bank under group 04.1-2 under resp. the consumer price index, the net price index and the EU Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP)., Read more about accessibility and clarity

The statistics have been compiled since 1990, but are comparable in their current form only from 2017 onwards., Statistical presentation, The statistics are an annual inventory of stays at public and private somatic and psychiatric hospital wards within one calendar year. The statistics show how hospital stays vary with demographic and social factors, such as residence, sex, age, educational level, labour market affiliation and relatives. The statistics are published in News from Statistics Denmark and in the StatBank., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The statistics are based on data retrieved from the National Patient Registry, which is shared with Statistics Denmark by the Danish Health Data Authority. Background data from Statistics Denmark are linked to the registry, and summaries and counts are produced — for example, the number of hospital stays and patients in public and private somatic and psychiatric hospital departments during the calendar year., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, Public and private stakeholders, as well as the general population, can use the statistics to extract data on the population’s hospital utilisation for various analyses, research, public debate, etc. The statistics make it possible to produce figures for specific diagnosis groups and to link information on hospital utilisation with sociodemographic factors such as place of residence, education, labour market attachment, and origin. This is made possible by linking data from the National Patient Register with population register data from Statistics Denmark., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The National Patient Register is validated by the Danish Health Data Agency and the accuracy of the register data must be considered to be high because the registration has a long tradition and a high priority for administrative purposes. Accordingly, the overall accuracy of the Hospital Utilisation Statistics is high. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published within approximately nine months after the end of the reference period., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics have been developed since 1990, but are only comparable in their current form from 2017 onwards., Eurostat and the OECD make comparable statistics in this field. There are a number of organizational and institutional conditions that we must keep in mind when comparing countries. , Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are released in the newsletter Nyt from Statistics Denmark (in Danish only) and the Statbank, Statbank tables on hospitalisation utilisation (https://www.Statbank.dk/20050).
