Respiratory problems (ELON <18)

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The “Europees Luchtwegonderzoek Nederland III short questionnaire” (ELON III) is the Dutch version of the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS).
The short survey, together with the long version, has been used since 1991 as the standard questionnaire for epidemiological studies on respiratory health.
In Lifelines, the ELON is part of the diseases & symptoms section.
Note that Lifelines also assessed respiratory diseases and respiratory problems (general).

The original ELON is a 16-item questionnaire with 4 aims.
Two of these original aims were covered independently from the ELON in Lifelines:

collect basic information regarding smoking status;
confirm length of time each person has lived at their current address.

The two other aims were reached using the ELON:

basic health information regarding respiratory status;
assessment of who is taking inhaled steroids or other medication related to respiratory diseases.
