In need of help: Persons who are unable to manage grocery shopping or housecleaning without help from others. Figures for 2015 and 2019 have been republished with revised weights to provide better comparability with 2025. At the same time, known errors and deficiencies have been corrected, and certain indicator texts have been adjusted. In the 2025 survey, Statistics Norway (SSB) made less use of filter questions before grading function questions, among others. In some cases, this change may have resulted in a higher reported prevalence than in previous years. This applies to the indicator 'Difficulty hearing a conversation in noisy environment'. Certain previous tables, including those on care, have been archived due to changes in question design and requirements from Eurostat. The tables are still available in the StatBank and are marked 'No longer updated'.
