Adults aged between 18 and 75 years, registered as residents of Sweden at the time of data collection, according to the Swedish state personal adress register (SPAR).

Sampling procedure

A probability sample was drawn from the Swedish state personal address register (SPAR) register to obtain a sample that was representative of the adult population in Sweden. The net sample was around 1000 individuals at each measurement occasion. Since the samples were not weighted against the structure of the population in the previous measurements 2005 - 2018, the samples of recent years have not been weighted either; this has been done to ensure consistence since the focus of the study is changes over time.
