Stress!!!!!!!!!!

Up to 20% (GE) reports high to very high general stress levels.
Women indicate relatively more stress than men.
Stress significantly drops once passed the age of 55.

Overall, the Dutch report least stress. However, in the Netherlands
they are also least stress resistant.

Work-related factors are relatively more stressing than private ones.
Especially the amount of work and the job content stresses people on the work floor.

Remarkable is that national politics are a major stress factor for the Italians.
Also Spanish are relatively more sensitive for this. So maybe it is a Southern thing ...*

The Spanish also score the highest stress levels on most work-related items.
Much more than other Europeans, they have experienced burn-outs in the past.

* Also in Belgium relatively high political stress levels were measured.
This might be explained by the political impasse at the time of the data collection.

Q : Generally speaking, how do you rate your general stress level? This refers to both stress from work as well as stress from family life.

Overweight can be considered as a BIG problem.
However, the problem is not always recognized by the „sufferers‟.

31% of overweighed women and 48% of overweighed men do
not consider themselves to be overweighed!*

On the other hand, 10% of women who do not have overweight feel too fat.
Significantly more women are trying to loose weight and/or have ever tried so.

4 out of 10 people are currently trying to loose weight.
The Dutch diet significantly less (only 29%), the Germans significantly more (50%).

Of all diets, most have ever tried it with the help of a professional dietician.
Among the diet methods, the Weight Watchers‟ method is most popular & satisfactory.

* Overweight is defined as a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 25 or more;
the BMI scores were calculated based on people‟s self-reported weight and height.



BMI = a formula to
BMI category
