We are not as healthy as we think

We are not as healthy as we think

The Belgian employee considers themselves very healthy. 9 out of 10 Belgians see no medical problems. A gross overestimation, according to the occupational health service Attentia.

While nine out of ten employees consider themselves healthy, this is a significant overestimation. Nearly two out of three employees are overweight. About a quarter have a BMI of 30 or more. 67 percent of people have high blood pressure. Especially male employees over 45 seem to suffer from these ailments. Certainly, overweight has been moving in the wrong direction in recent years.

The biggest problem? A lack of sports and exercise. Forty percent of employees do not engage in any physical activity or barely move. Stress is also increasing. Nearly fifty percent of employees experience stress. Moreover, we are all becoming much more irritable and impatient. Women suffer from stress more than men. Furthermore, smoking and drinking remain a problem.

Men and those over 45 are the unhealthiest. Additionally, manual workers are just a bit unhealthier than office workers. It is increasingly recognized that health is not only a private matter but that companies can also contribute. An unhealthy lifestyle indeed increases absenteeism due to illness. An employer can contribute to better health, better sleep, and less stress through targeted efforts.
