  ## History and profile
  
  Helse was established by Toft Nielsen, an economist, in 1955. The magazine, based in Copenhagen, features articles on advances in health-care services. Helse-Active Living was the owner of the magazine until 2008. The Danish Medical Association supported the magazine, which was financed by the Federation of Sick-benefits Associations until 2012. It was distributed free of charge until that date and has been published six to eight times per year since then. The Pharmacists Association and local authorities began to finance the magazine in 2012.
  
  At the beginning of the 1960s Helse sold nearly 310,000 copies.
