But it is also a question that has occupied people for decades: Why does that mosquito always choose you and not the one who is snoring nicely next to you, less than twenty centimeters away? Hol: “You would say that we have known that for a long time, but that is not the case. There is a lot of research into what attracts mosquitoes, but not about that difference between people.”

Singers Bennie Solo and Ronnie Ruysdaal are also enthusiastic about the new 4daagse song. “Bruls is welcome during pink Wednesday on Hertogplein,” says Solo. According to the Nijmegen native, that is the ideal place to play the song live for the first time. “Thousands of people are then present around 4 p.m. the runners too.”

It feels very unfair that this amount differs per municipality. In addition, it is very bad to burden this group, which is already experiencing a lot of stress, with this payment,” says sociologist Jansje van Middendorp of Radboud University. “People who request urgent care are in a difficult situation. That group should be made as easy as possible. A request for urgency can be seen as an alarm bell to offer someone personal help and to guide them in the steps to be taken.”

One in five adults smokes
The most recent figures from the Trimbos Institute (2021) show that one in five Dutch people aged 18 and older smoked in 2021. That is 20.6 percent of the adult population. There has been a significant decrease in recent years, as in 2014 25.7 percent of adults still smoked.
Trimbos says that by 2021, 30.9 percent of smokers made a serious effort to quit. Most smokers need several attempts to quit permanently.
So more and more people are quitting smoking. But that does not apply to people with a lower level of education, says Pharos. Half of men aged 25-45 with a lower education smoke. Tobacco addiction contributes about 30 percent to the difference in life expectancy between low and high educated people.
