NIPH, The National Insitute of Public Health

The National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) is an independent sectorial research institute under the Danish Ministry of the Interior and Health. The research at the NIPH is based on the concept of health broadly defined. Thus, health comprises morbidity and mortality, health consequences, functionality, health related quality of life as well as the population's own perception of various aspects of their health status. The causal relations behind health and morbidity, lifestyle and health behaviour, the living conditions of the population and environmental impact are also subjects of NIPH studies.
