Helse is a family and lifestyle magazine with a special reference to medical topics. The magazine is published in Copenhagen, Denmark. Its name refers to a traditional Danish word with the meaning of health.[1]
Helse was established by Toft Nielsen, an economist, in 1955.[1] The magazine, based in Copenhagen, features articles on advances in health-care services.[1][2] Helse-Active Living was the owner of the magazine until 2008.[3] The Danish Medical Association supported the magazine, which was financed by the Federation of Sick-benefits Associations until 2012.[1] It was distributed free of charge until that date and has been published six[4] to eight times per year since then.[1] The Pharmacists Association and local authorities began to finance the magazine in 2012.[1]
At the beginning of the 1960s Helse sold nearly 310,000 copies.[4]
